EM-M26 is an adjustable signal monitoring relay designed for standard voltage and current signals in industrial automation systems. It compares the measured input signal with an adjustable threshold and switches a potential-free relay contact when the selected switching condition is met.
The input range is selected using DIP switches. The switching threshold, hysteresis and ON/OFF delays can be adjusted from the top of the unit. The relay can be configured to activate either above or below the selected threshold.
The EM-M26 supports four standard industrial signal ranges:
The required input range is selected using the DIP switches. The voltage inputs have an input impedance of 1 MΩ, while the current input uses a 50 Ω input resistance.
The switching threshold can be adjusted from 0 to 110% of the selected input range. The extended adjustment range allows the threshold to be set slightly above the nominal full-scale signal.
Adjustable hysteresis from 0 to 10% helps prevent relay chatter when the input signal is close to the switching threshold.
The relay operating direction is selected using a DIP switch:
An LED indicates when the relay output is activated.
The relay response can be delayed independently when activating and releasing. Both the ON delay and OFF delay can be adjusted from 0 to 10 seconds.
The delays can be used to suppress short signal changes or prevent unnecessary relay operation caused by temporary process disturbances.
The relay output provides a potential-free changeover contact for connection to an external control, indication or alarm circuit.
A separate status-voltage output provides an immediate electrical indication of the comparison result. The status output is not affected by the configured ON or OFF delays and changes between approximately 0 V and 12 V.
The signal and supply circuitry have a specified isolation voltage of 500 V. The signal input includes overvoltage protection, while the supply input is protected against incorrect connection.
