The Pilz PNOZ 2VJ 24VDC 3N/O 1N/C 2N/O T (Part No. 774012) is a versatile and high-performance safety relay designed to monitor critical safety functions such as emergency stops, safety gates, and enabling devices in industrial automation environments. Part of the proven Pilz PNOZ series, this relay provides a reliable and flexible solution for machine and operator safety.

Operating on a 24 V DC supply voltage, the PNOZ 2VJ ensures stable and efficient performance with a power consumption of just 6.5 W. This makes it suitable for continuous duty operation without imposing heavy demands on control system power supplies. Its DC-based design ensures compatibility with modern automation systems that increasingly rely on low-voltage operation for safety functions.

The relay’s contact configuration is one of its most valuable features. It includes 3 normally open (N/O) safety contacts for direct switching of actuators such as motors, contactors, or valves. Additionally, it provides 1 normally closed (N/C) contact for monitoring or signalling purposes, and 2 normally open time-delayed contacts (N/O T), which allow controlled shutdown sequences to be implemented. This combination provides engineers with maximum flexibility when designing safety architectures, enabling both immediate machine shutdowns and staged power-down of critical components.

Equipped with two safety inputs, the PNOZ 2VJ supports dual-channel monitoring for redundancy and fault detection. This ensures that wiring errors, short circuits, or input failures can be identified promptly, maintaining a high level of safety integrity. Dual-channel capability is essential for meeting international safety standards and delivering the reliability expected in high-risk industrial environments.

The relay complies with EN 60947-4-1 utilisation categories for AC/DC1 switching applications and supports safety contact voltages up to 240 V AC. This makes it suitable for use across a wide range of industrial applications where robust, standards-compliant safety monitoring is required. Machine builders and plant operators can integrate the PNOZ 2VJ with confidence, knowing it provides both operator protection and regulatory compliance.

Designed for industrial durability, the PNOZ 2VJ combines a compact form factor with rugged construction, ensuring long service life even under demanding operating conditions. Its clear terminal layout simplifies wiring, reduces commissioning time, and minimises integration errors, making it a practical choice for both new installations and retrofits.

Applications for the PNOZ 2VJ include manufacturing, packaging machinery, robotics, logistics systems, and process industries, where reliable safety relay performance is critical. Its flexible output configuration makes it particularly valuable in environments requiring both immediate and delayed switching of machine functions.

In summary, the Pilz PNOZ 2VJ 24VDC 3N/O 1N/C 2N/O T combines energy-efficient DC operation, versatile contact configuration, dual-channel monitoring, and compliance with international safety standards. It is a dependable safety relay solution that enhances machine safety, protects operators, and supports efficient and compliant system design in modern industrial environments.
