- トラブルシューティング マトリックス
| 故障現象 | 根本的な原因 | 解決 |
| Coil energized but NO contacts fail to close | 1. Reversed coil polarity; 2. Supply voltage below 70% 定格電圧; 3. 焼けたコイル | Swap pins 13 そして 14; Measure DC supply voltage; リレーを交換する |
| NO contacts stick closed after power-off, NC contacts cannot close (critical safety failure) | Load current exceeds 12A; repeated heavy arcing welds contacts | Reduce load or add intermediate relay; Install brand-new SIR222P |
| Both NC and NO contacts conduct during safety inspection | Damaged forcibly guided mechanical structure; relay cannot be repaired | Replace immediately; prohibit further use in safety circuits |
| Severe contact voltage drop and overheating | Poor PCB soldering; long-term near full 12A load | Re-solder PCB pins; Parallel additional contacts for current sharing |
| Coil shows no pull-in action at all | Open circuit at pins 13/14; No power supply output | Inspect power circuit and PCB solder joints for open connections |
- Mandatory Installation & Usage Prohibitions
- NC contact safety monitoring must not be omitted: Safety devices must read NC feedback signals; otherwise anti-welding protection is lost.
- Long-term resistive load shall not exceed 12A; inductive loads are recommended to be derated to 8A.
- DC coils must not be energized with reversed polarity for extended periods (built-in diode only provides one-time transient protection; sustained reverse voltage burns the coil).
- Prohibit full-load continuous operation above 70℃ in sealed cabinets; sufficient heat dissipation space must be reserved.
- Do not parallel contacts of different relays for current expansion; single-channel load cannot exceed rated current of one contact.
- Only PCB soldering mounting is allowed; avoid violent bending or repeated plugging/unplugging of pins.

3.1 Coil Drive Pins
13: Coil positive DC+
14: Coil negative DC(cathode of built-in diode; sustained reverse connection prohibited)
3.2 Two Independent Forcibly Guided Contact Banks (COM+NC+NO per bank)
チャネル 1 (First Safety Contact Bank)
1: Common COM1
2: NC1 Normally Closed (forced linkage feedback contact)
3: NO1 Normally Open (main power output)

コイル通電 (pulled-in state): Pins 2-NC1 and 5-NC2 open; Pins 3-NO1 and 6-NO2 conduct
Fault judgment rule: If NC contacts remain closed after coil energization → NO contacts welded shut; safety circuit triggers fault and equipment shutdown.
- Four Standard Industrial Wiring Schemes
スキーム 1: Dual-Channel Safety Cut-Off Circuit (非常停止 / Safety Door, 最も一般的な)
機能の説明
Two independent NO contacts cut servo/inverter enable signals; two NC contacts connect to PLC for contact welding fault monitoring, complying with ISO13849 Cat.3 safety requirements.
配線手順
- Coil drive: PLC 24V+ output → Pin13; 0V → Pin14
- Power output circuit (two independent cut-off paths, parallel connection prohibited)
チャネル 1: 24VAC/DC supply → COM1(Pin1); NO1(Pin3) → Servo Enable Coil 1
チャネル 2: 24VAC/DC supply → COM2(Pin4); NO2(Pin6) → Servo Enable Coil 2
- Fault feedback monitoring (NC contacts wired to PLC digital input)
NC1(Pin2) and NC2(Pin5) shorted together and connected to PLC PNP input; PLC logic: NC contacts must open when relay pulls in. Continuous conduction indicates contact welding and locks out equipment startup.
Mandatory Safety Rule
Two output loads must be independent. Parallel connection of NO1 and NO2 for current expansion destroys dual-channel redundant safety design.
スキーム 2: PLC High-Current Output Expansion (電磁弁 / Contactor Drive)
適用範囲
PLC single-point output current ≤0.5A, insufficient for direct drive of 10A solenoid valves; SIR222P expands contact current capacity.
- コイル: PLC output drives Pins13/14 (24VDC)
- Main circuit AC220V live wire → COM1(Pin1), COM2(Pin4)
- NO1(Pin3) and NO2(Pin6) parallel to solenoid coil (parallel allowed for resistive loads, not recommended for inductive loads)
- NC contacts unused or wired to alarm indicator light (light illuminates when relay de-energized)
スキーム 3: Equipment Self-Diagnosis Circuit (Safety Light Curtain Output Expansion)
- Dual-channel NC signals from safety light curtain wired in series to drive relay coil Pins13/14
- Two NO contacts cut main contactor power supply; two NC contacts feed real-time contact status to PLC
- 論理: Curtain blocked → coil de-energized → NO contacts open and machine stops; If NC contacts stay closed with unobstructed curtain, relay contact damage is detected and alarm interlock activates.
スキーム 4: Mixed Weak Signal & High-Current Circuit (Contact Channel Isolation)
- Channel1 NO contacts: Drive high-current AC220V contactors
- Channel2 NC contacts: Feed 5V weak feedback signal to MCU IO ports (gold-plated contacts guarantee stable low-current contact performance)
Prohibition: Do not share one contact bank for both high-current inductive loads and 5V weak signals; arcing contaminates contact surfaces and causes intermittent weak signal faults.
- PCB Mounting & Soldering Standards
5.1 PCB Pad Design Requirements
Pin hole diameter: 1.3mm, pad diameter ≥2.2mm
Standard pin pitch layout compatible with all 14-pin relays
Wider copper traces for COM/NO/NC high-current pins; copper thickness ≥35μm, trace width ≥5mm for 12A loads
5.2 Soldering Process Specifications
- Wave soldering peak temperature ≤260℃, contact duration ≤4s; hand iron temperature ≤350℃, single pin soldering time ≤3s
- Prolonged high-temperature heating of pins is forbidden, as it melts internal contact plastic supports
- Solder joints must be fully filled without cold solder or bridging between adjacent pins
- Clean flux residue after soldering to prevent leakage and creepage currents
5.3 放熱要件
Continuous full 12A operation: Increase PCB copper trace heat dissipation area; cabinet ambient temperature ≤60℃
Ambient temperature of 70℃: Load must be derated to ≤8A
- Load Selection & Derating Standards
| 負荷の種類 | Rated Permitted Current | Mandatory Derating Explanation |
| AC250V resistive (heating lamps, 抵抗器) | 12あ | No derating required for long-term stable operation |
| AC250V inductive (接触器, 電磁弁) | 8あ | Inductive kickback arcs occur at power-off; mandatory 1/3 derating |
| DC24V inductive (electromagnetic clutches) | 5あ | Poor DC arc extinction performance; significant derating required |
| Weak signal 5~24V (PLC feedback) | ≤0.5A | Only use gold-plated NC contacts; do not share channel with high-current loads |
Recommended Arc Suppression Measures
Fit absorption components across inductive load coils:
AC loads: RC absorption circuit (0.1μF capacitor in series with 100Ω resistor)
DC loads: Freewheeling diode wired in reverse parallel across coil terminals
- Mandatory Core Rules for Safety Circuit Design (Violation Invalidates Safety Certifications)
- NC contact monitoring cannot be omitted
All safety cut-off circuits (非常停止, safety doors, light curtains) must route both NC contact banks to the upper controller (PLC) for welding diagnosis. Circuits without monitoring fail to meet IEC61810-3 safety requirements.
- Dual-channel outputs must not be paralleled
Two NO contacts provide redundant safety cut-off; each must drive an independent load. Parallel connection eliminates fault isolation capability.
- Single-channel cut-off is prohibited for safety applications
Using only one NO contact to cut power while leaving the other unused downgrades safety classification directly to Cat.1 and fails machine safety acceptance tests.
- Do not series multiple safety relay contacts for current expansion
Multi-stage series connection increases contact failure probability and reduces safety level.
- Coil power supply must share the same source as the safety circuit. Separate power supplies cause asynchronous logic operation.
- Power-On Commissioning & Functional Test Procedures
8.1 Static Pre-Power Test (Multimeter Required)
- Coil de-energized state: Measure continuity between 1-2 そして 4-5; open circuit between 1-3 そして 4-6
- Measure coil resistance at Pins13/14 (760Ω for 24VDC model) to rule out short/open circuits
- Verify no continuity between unoccupied pins and coil/contact terminals
8.2 Energized Pull-In Test
- Apply rated DC24V to Pin13(+) and Pin14(-)
- Multimeter verification: Open circuit between 1-2 そして 4-5; continuity between 1-3 そして 4-6
- Cut coil supply voltage; contacts reset rapidly to original state
8.3 Safety Fault Simulation Test (Mandatory for Acceptance)
Manually simulate NO contact welding by shorting Pins1 and 3. With coil energized, NC1 (Pin2) remains conductive. PLC detects persistent NC closure and triggers fault alarm to validate the forcibly guided mechanical design.
- トラブルシューティング マトリックス
| 故障現象 | 根本的な原因 | Standard Resolution |
| コイル通電, NO contacts fail to close | 1. Reversed Pin13/14 polarity; 2. Supply below 70% そして; 3. Open coil winding | Swap coil terminals, measure supply voltage, リレーを交換する |
| NO contacts stick closed after power-off, NC cannot close | Load exceeds 12A; no absorption circuit for inductive loads leading to arc welding | Install RC/diode absorption, derate load, リレーを交換する |
| Coil pulls in but NC contacts remain closed (critical safety failure) | Damaged forcibly guided mechanical linkage, seized contacts | Discard and replace immediately; ban use in safety circuits |
| 接点過熱, voltage drop >1V | Poor PCB soldering, continuous 12A full load at high temperature, insufficient copper trace width | Re-solder joints, enlarge PCB heat dissipation traces, derate operating load |
| Intermittent PLC weak signal feedback | NC contacts previously carrying high-current loads with carbonized arc deposits on contact surfaces | リレーを交換する; separate high-current and weak signal channels |
| No coil pull-in action, zero voltage detected | Open circuit at Pins13/14, blown power fuse | Inspect PCB solder pads and 24V supply circuit |
| Leakage short between adjacent pins | Residual flux condensation, cabinet internal condensation | Clean PCB surface, improve cabinet dehumidification and ventilation |
- Absolute Installation & Usage Prohibitions
- Omission of NC contact welding monitoring on safety cut-off circuits voids safety certification validity.
- Continuous resistive loads exceeding 12A or inductive loads exceeding 8A burn contact sets.
- Long-term reverse energization of DC coils destroys the built-in freewheeling diode.
- Do not run continuous full 12A loads above 70℃ in sealed cabinets.
- Do not share one contact bank for both high-current inductive loads and 5V weak signal circuits.
- Parallel connection of two NO contacts for current expansion is forbidden in safety circuit applications.
- Prolonged full-load operation at ambient temperature above 70℃ is prohibited.
- Violent pin bending, repeated plugging/unplugging, and extended high-temperature soldering are forbidden.
- Do not deploy in circuits above AC480V, exceeding contact voltage withstand ratings.
