PILZ 772140 / 772142 / 772143 (PNOZ X2) Safety Relays

All three models are PILZ PNOZ X2 compact basic safety relays, belonging to PILZ classic X series. They are designed for safety circuit monitoring of industrial equipment, mainly overseeing safety components such as emergency stop buttons, safety gates, safety light curtains and two-hand control units. The three products feature identical contact configuration, functions and dimensions, differing only in supply voltage. Equipped with standard automatic reset and dual-channel safety design, they comply with machinery safety standards Cat.3 / PL-d / SIL 2.

4. Cross-Generation & Substituição entre marcas

4.1 Internal Replacement within PILZ

Status do produto: 772140/772142/772143 (PNOZ X2) are active mass-production models, no obsolescence or direct discontinued replacements.

Alternativas atualizadas (Maior desempenho, backward compatible):

PNOZ X2.8P: Equipped with diagnostic output and optimized terminals; pin-compatible for direct replacement.

PNOZ X3: Recommended if additional auxiliary feedback contacts are required.

Downgraded Replacement: Não disponível. PNOZ X2 is the entry-level model of X series.

4.2 Equivalentes entre marcas (Same Safety Rating: Cat.3 / PL-d)

Important Reminder: Always verify wiring diagrams and safety circuit logic when replacing safety components. Do not replace merely based on appearance to avoid safety hazards.

4.3 Alternativas Domésticas

Modelos recomendados: IDEC HR1S, Tianyi safety relays

Cenários Aplicáveis: Non-high-risk equipment and ordinary domestic automated production lines

Restrictions: Not recommended for high-end export equipment, robotic systems, presses and stamping machines.

5. Ambientes de aplicativos & Casos da Indústria

5.1 Main Application Scenarios

This universal safety relay is used for industrial equipment requiring safe power circuit cut-off. Typical monitored components:

1. Emergency stop circuit (full equipment emergency shutdown)
2. Mechanical safety gates and guard switches (power cut-off once gates are opened)
3. Safety light curtains and area scanners (shutdown protection when personnel enter hazardous areas)
4. Two-hand control buttons (prevent misoperation on pressing and riveting machines)
5. Safety limit switches and travel safety contacts

5.2 Applicable Industries

Machine Tool Processing: Lathes, fresadoras, centros de usinagem, grinders

Embalagem & Logística: Máquinas de embalagem, palletizers, transportadores, sorting equipment

Fabricação Automotiva: Soldagem, assembly and coating production lines

Rubber & Plastic Injection: Máquinas de moldagem por injeção, extrusoras, die-cutting equipment

General Automation: Robotic workstations, custom automated machinery

Light Industry Machinery: Impressão, textile and food processing equipment

5.3 Suitable Operating Conditions

Standard indoor control cabinets, normal temperature, dust-free or slightly dusty environments

Conventional power frequency systems (24V/110V/230V power supply)

Circuits with frequent start-stop and demand for rapid safety cut-off

5.4 Cenários não recomendados (Precauções)

1. Áreas à prova de explosão: No explosion-proof certification. Use dedicated PILZ explosion-proof safety relays for explosive workshops.
2. Outdoor Exposure / High Humidity & Condensation: IP40 protection is insufficient; an additional protective enclosure is required.
3. Severe Electromagnetic Interference: (Near high-frequency welders or large inverters) Shielding measures and independent earthing are necessary.
4. Overload Operation: Contact current must not exceed 6A. Add intermediate contactors for high-power loads.
5. Ambient Temperature above 55℃: Will shorten service life of safety contacts and cause false tripping.

5.5 Casos de aplicação típicos

Caso 1: Safety Protection for Vertical Machining Center

Configuração: 772140 (24V CA/CC) + Safety gate switch + Emergency stop button

Função: Opening the equipment guard gate → Safety relay actuates → Cuts off power to spindle and feed motors; Automatic reset and restart after gate closure.

Benefícios: Complies with machine safety standards and prevents personnel from entering mechanical hazardous zones.

Caso 2: Food Flow Wrapper

Configuração: 772143 (230V e) + Safety light curtain

Função: If operators accidentally reach into the operating area → Light curtain triggers → Relay cuts off main drive power.

Benefícios: IP40 rating adapts to slight water vapor in workshops; automatic reset ensures continuous production.

6. Guia de seleção de modelo

Regras de referência rápida

1. The three part numbers differ only in coil voltage, with identical appearance, contacts and functions:

772140 = 24V AC/DC (Universal, first choice)

772142 = 110V AC (For Japanese-style and overseas equipment)

772143 = 230V AC (For domestic 220V mains power)

2. PNOZ X2 = 2 safety NO contacts + Reinicialização automática
3. Selection Priority: Confirm control cabinet supply voltage first, then verify reset mode (automático / manual).
4. Solução de problemas

Safety Regulation: Faulty safety relays are prohibited from disassembly and repair. The complete unit must be replaced.
