The Pilz P2HZ X1P C 24VDC 3N/O 1N/C 2SO (787340) is a safety relay specifically designed to ensure compliance with stringent operator safety requirements in machinery that requires two-hand control. As part of the trusted Pilz safety relay portfolio, this unit delivers reliable protection while maintaining operational efficiency, making it ideal for integration into modern industrial environments.

The relay is engineered to meet Type III C specifications for two-hand devices, ensuring both operator hands must be engaged simultaneously to initiate machine functions. This prevents accidental or intentional bypassing of safety mechanisms, thereby safeguarding operators from hazardous machine movements such as presses, cutters, or forming equipment. With two input channels, the relay ensures redundancy and fault detection, verifying that both hand-operated controls are functioning correctly before allowing machinery activation.

Operating on a 24 V DC supply with a power consumption of just 2.5 W, the P2HZ X1P C is both efficient and practical for industrial control cabinets. Its low energy demand reduces overall system consumption, while its compatibility with common control voltages makes it straightforward to integrate into existing installations.

The relay is equipped with a robust set of output contacts to support a variety of control and monitoring requirements. It provides 3 normally open (N/O) safety contacts for switching safety circuits, ensuring machine functions are interrupted immediately in the event of a fault or safety trigger. Additionally, it features 1 normally closed (N/C) contact for feedback or monitoring circuits, and 2 signalling outputs (SO) that deliver system status information to higher-level control systems. This combination of outputs offers flexibility and redundancy, supporting comprehensive safety integration.

As with all Pilz safety relays, the P2HZ X1P C is designed with reliability and compliance in mind. Built to meet international safety standards such as EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061, it supports high levels of safety integrity for critical machine operations. Its durable construction ensures long service life, even under the mechanical stress and electrical demands of industrial automation.

Applications for the P2HZ X1P C include mechanical presses, stamping machines, forming equipment, packaging systems, and other high-risk machinery where safeguarding operator interaction is essential. By enforcing the requirement of two-hand operation, the relay prevents unintended or unsafe machine starts, ensuring personnel protection without limiting productivity.

In summary, the Pilz P2HZ X1P C 24VDC 3N/O 1N/C 2SO (787340) is a robust and efficient two-hand control safety relay. With its compliance to Type III C standards, dual input channels, versatile output configuration, and energy-efficient operation, it provides manufacturers with a proven solution for ensuring safe machine operation in accordance with global safety regulations.
