9. Model Correction & Alternative Reference

⚠️ The most frequently confused model on the market: SNA4043K-A (4043, easily mistaken for 4053)

⚠️ Important Verification Conclusion

SNA4053K-A is NOT an official standard model in Wieland catalogues, it is highly likely a transcription error:

1. Most common miswriting: SNA4043K-A (Número de pieza. R1.188.1810.0)

Reinicio automático, no reset monitoring; dual-channel with short-circuit monitoring

2. Alternative similar model: SNA4063K-A

Reinicio manual (with reset monitoring) — this is the core difference from SNA4043

Model rules:

SNA4043K-A: Reinicio automático

SNA4063K-A: Reinicio manual (reset button monitoring)

Both models share identical contact configuration, safety rating and dimensions; only reset logic differs.

Quick Selection Comparison Table

Recommended Actions

1. Verify the printed model on the physical nameplate of the unit;
2. Confirm site requirements: Reset monitoring required or not

Emergency stop circuits generally require manual reset (SNA4063K-A)

Safety light curtain applications may adopt automatic reset (SNA4043K-A)

Application Scenarios of Wieland SNA Series Relés de seguridad (SNA4043 / SNA4063)

This series achieves PL e / Cat.4 / SIL3 with dual-channel monitoring, primarily deployed for safety circuits on machine tools and automated production lines. Content is divided into supported safety signal types, industry applications, and key selection differentiation.

1. Supported Safety Input Signals (Hardware Utilization)
2. Emergency stop buttons (dual normally closed contacts)

Most common application: Machine main emergency stop and zone emergency stop circuits.

Standard requirement: Emergency stop circuits prefer SNA4063K-A (manual reset with monitoring).

2. Safety gate switches / Magnetic safety sensors

Interlock for protective doors, maintenance doors and perimeter fencing; power circuit cutout upon door opening.

3. Safety light curtains

Hazard zone intrusion protection for presses, conveyor lines and robot stations.

Light curtain solutions commonly use SNA4043K-A (reinicio automático).

4. Two-hand control devices

For stamping and riveting equipment, preventing single-hand access to hazardous zones.

5. Safety mats, safety bumpers

Perimeter intrusion detection around robot cells, automatic doors and lifting platforms.

3. Critical Application Selection Comparison

⚠️ SNA-4053-K-A is not an official Wieland standard model. It is almost certainly a nameplate transcription error; physical unit will be one of the two above variants.

4. Limitaciones & Aplicaciones inadecuadas
5. Cannot directly drive high-power loads; safety contacts are intended to control contactor coils, not motors directly
6. Not suitable for solenoid valves or high-frequency switching loads
7. Cannot satisfy safety requirements higher than PL e / Cat.4 (this series already reaches Cat.4 maximum rating)

Selection Guidelines for Wieland SNA / SNO Safety Relays

Based on the SNA4043 / SNA4063 platform covered above; structured criteria ready for engineering proposals and procurement checks.

Paso 1: Confirm Required Safety Rating (Mandatory Priority)

Cumple con ISO 13849-1 / EN 62061

1. PL & Categoría

pl y / Cat.4: Highest rating. For high-risk stations including robots, stamping, injection moulding, machine tools and lithium battery equipment (supported by all mainstream SNA variants)

pl d / Cat.3: Low-risk general automation and conveyor lines

2. Nivel SIL

SIL 3 corresponds to PL e; preferred for machinery exported to EU

✅ Selection Rule: Do NOT downgrade safety rating for high-risk equipment.

Paso 2: Determine Safety Input Channel Configuration (Dual Channel Is Standard)

Channel Modes

Dual-channel monitoring with cross short-circuit detection: Industry standard, fitted across all SNA variants. Compatible with dual normally closed safety devices (Molestar, safety gates, light curtains)

Single channel: Only permitted for low-risk scenarios; available on selected SNO variants. NOT allowed for high-risk machinery.

Compatible Sensor Types

Emergency stop switches, mechanical safety gates: Dual normally closed (CAROLINA DEL NORTE)

Magnetic safety switches, safety light curtains: Dual NC / OSSD signals

⚠️ Two types of safety light curtains:

① OSSD solid-state output → Requires relay model supporting OSSD input

② Light curtain with relay converted contact output → Compatible with standard SNA4043 / SNA4063

Paso 3: Modo de reinicio (Most Common Source of Wrong Selection!)

Distinción clave:

Monitored reset detects open or short circuits on reset wiring and triggers safety lockout for superior safety. Simple unmonitored manual reset should be avoided on new projects.

Paso 4: Voltaje de suministro

Main Wieland options:

Suffix A = AC/DC 24 V (Automation standard, selected in 90% of projects)

Less common: 110 VACACIONES, 230 VAC — only for legacy retrofits

Ejemplo: SNA4063K-A → A = AC/DC 24 suministro V

Paso 5: Tipo de terminal (Identified by Suffix K / do)

K = Pluggable screw terminals

Ventajas: Resistente a vibraciones, ideal for permanent cabinet installation and on-site maintenance (the unit in your photo uses K terminals)

C = Push-in spring terminals

Ventajas: Fast wiring without screwdrivers; use cautiously under heavy vibration

Ejemplo: SNA4063K-A

Paso 6: Output Contact Configuration

Main Safety Outputs (For Power Circuit Cutoff)

SNA4043 / SNA4063: 3 contactos de seguridad normalmente abiertos

Objetivo: Wired in series with main contactor coils for redundant shutdown

Auxiliary Signal Contacts (PLC Feedback)

1 built-in normally closed fault contact

Opens upon safety activation or relay fault; used for alarm indicators and PLC signalling

Nota de selección: If multiple feedback signals are required, add auxiliary relays. Safety contacts should not be expanded externally.

Contact Load Ratings

AC-15: 230 V / 5 A

DC-13: 24 V / 5 A

👉 Never drive motors directly; only control contactor coils!

Paso 7: Montaje & Especificaciones físicas

1. Montaje: Standard DIN 35 carril mm
2. Ancho: SNA40xx series 22.5 milímetros, compact design saving cabinet space
3. Environmental rating: IP20 (solo para instalación en gabinete; not for outdoor direct deployment)

Paso 8: Differentiate SNA vs SNO Series (Frequent Confusion)

SNA Series: Dual-channel safety monitoring, up to PL e Cat.4; for emergency stop, safety gates, light curtains (your target series)

SNO Series: Predominantly single channel, lower safety rating generally PL d and below; low-cost basic solutions

Common Selection Pitfalls Checklist

1. ❌ Misapplication: Using automatic reset SNA4043 for emergency stop circuits — violates machinery safety standards, fails third-party audit & Certificación CE
2. ❌ Transcription error SNA-4053-K-A: No official model; physical unit is either SNA4043 or SNA4063
3. ❌ Direct drive of solenoid valves or high-power loads with safety contacts → contact burnout and loss of safety function
4. ❌ Mixing K screw terminals and C spring terminals, leading to mismatch on delivery
5. ❌ Ignoring reset monitoring requirements → machine fails acceptance testing

Rapid Selection Workflow (For Field Engineers)

1. Identify safety device: parada de emergencia / safety gate → select SNA4063xx-A (monitored manual reset); Light curtain / safety bumper → SNA4043xx-A (reinicio automático)
2. Confirm supply voltage: Default AC/DC24V suffix A
3. Select terminal type: Permanent cabinet installation → K screw terminal; high volume assembly for fast wiring → C spring terminal
4. Verify safety rating: High-risk equipment requires PL e / Cat.4 / SIL3
5. Confirm number of safety contacts sufficient for contactor control
