The Pilz PNOZ 2VQ 24VDC 3N/O 1N/C 2N/O T (Part No. 774013) is a versatile and high-performance safety relay engineered to monitor critical safety functions and ensure reliable disconnection of hazardous machine movements. As part of the Pilz PNOZ family, it is designed to meet demanding safety requirements while providing flexibility in system design through its extensive output configuration.

Operating on a 24 V DC supply voltage, the PNOZ 2VQ consumes 6.5 W, making it energy-efficient and suitable for continuous-duty operation in industrial environments. Its robust design ensures long-term durability, even in facilities where equipment operates under demanding conditions such as frequent actuation, vibration, or high load cycles.

The relay includes two input channels, enabling dual-channel monitoring of safety devices such as emergency stop buttons, guard door interlocks, enabling switches, or light curtains. This redundancy ensures that any wiring fault, short circuit, or discrepancy between channels is immediately detected, preventing unsafe restarts and guaranteeing operator protection.

A defining feature of the PNOZ 2VQ is its comprehensive output configuration. It provides 3 normally open (N/O) safety contacts for directly disconnecting hazardous actuators and drives, along with 1 normally closed (N/C) auxiliary contact for diagnostic signalling or integration into higher-level control systems. Additionally, the relay includes 2 time-delayed N/O contacts, which are essential in applications requiring staged shutdowns. This enables machinery to perform controlled deceleration or orderly stopping before a full power cut-off, preventing mechanical stress and ensuring process safety.

The unit complies with EN 60947-4-1 utilisation categories (AC/DC1), confirming its ability to switch industrial loads reliably up to 240 V AC. This makes it suitable for a wide range of machine and process applications where high-performance safety is critical.

With a compact housing and clearly marked terminals, the PNOZ 2VQ is straightforward to install and integrate into control cabinets. Its ease of wiring and maintenance-friendly design reduces commissioning time and ensures long-term cost efficiency.

Applications for the PNOZ 2VQ span across automotive, robotics, packaging, process automation, and material handling industries. It is particularly well-suited to systems requiring time-delayed shutdowns, such as conveyor systems, presses, or rotating machinery, where controlled deceleration enhances both operator safety and equipment protection.

In summary, the Pilz PNOZ 2VQ 24VDC 3N/O 1N/C 2N/O T (774013) delivers energy-efficient DC operation, dual-channel monitoring, flexible output options including time-delayed contacts, and high switching capacity. It is a robust and adaptable safety relay that ensures compliance with international safety standards while safeguarding both personnel and machinery in demanding industrial environments.
