The Pilz PZE X4VP8 24VDC 4N/O (part no. 777584) is a robust and efficient safety relay designed for the reliable monitoring and control of safety functions in industrial automation. As part of Pilz’s proven PZE relay range, it offers dependable performance, low energy consumption, and compliance with international standards, making it a key component for safe machine operation.

Operating on a 24 V DC supply voltage, the PZE X4VP8 integrates easily into modern automation environments where DC-based control circuits are common. Its low power consumption of just 2.5 W makes it an energy-efficient solution that supports continuous use while reducing operating costs and thermal load within control cabinets.

The relay is equipped with four normally open (N/O) enabling contacts, providing flexible options for controlling multiple machine safety outputs. These contacts allow machine functions to be activated safely only when all safety criteria have been satisfied. The arrangement is ideal for applications where multiple circuits or devices need to be controlled simultaneously, such as stopping hazardous movements, disabling actuators, or isolating power when an emergency stop is triggered.

The single input design ensures simplicity in safety circuit configuration while maintaining reliable monitoring performance. This input can be connected to devices such as emergency stop pushbuttons, safety gate switches, or enabling switches. By reliably evaluating the input signal, the relay ensures that hazardous functions are interrupted immediately in unsafe situations.

Built to the EN 60947-4-1 standard, the PZE X4VP8 meets stringent international requirements for electrical durability and safety. Its classification under the AC/DC1 utilisation category confirms its suitability for controlling resistive loads in industrial environments. This ensures that the relay performs consistently and safely, even in demanding applications.

The unit’s compact design allows for straightforward installation in control panels, and clear terminal assignments simplify wiring and commissioning. Maintenance is also streamlined thanks to its durable design, which reduces the likelihood of component failure and ensures a long operational life.

In practical applications, the PZE X4VP8 is widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, packaging, metalworking, and logistics, where reliable safety monitoring is essential. Typical uses include monitoring emergency stops, protective doors, light curtains, or other safety devices to ensure that hazardous machine functions are disabled whenever operator safety is at risk.

In summary, the Pilz PZE X4VP8 24VDC 4N/O safety relay offers a compact, energy-efficient, and standards-compliant solution for safety-related monitoring tasks. With its 24 V DC operation, four enabling contacts, low power consumption, and compliance with EN 60947-4-1, it provides engineers with a dependable and flexible foundation for building safe, standards-compliant automation systems.
