Electronic Relays - Reliability in Production Line Automation Panels-0

Relays are crucial components in any automation and power management system, such as in automation switchgear for production lines. They offer reliable and efficient control of load and control signals, which can significantly reduce power consumption and operational costs. By utilizing DELCON relays, which are equipped with innovative pulse transformer technology, companies can greatly enhance the reliability and durability of their equipment. This also reduces maintenance needs and, over the long term, the costs associated with downtime and repairs. The absence of mechanical elements in these relays substantially extends their lifetime.

Don't spend on second best - use DELCON relays

What are Delcon relays

DELCON relays are designed using pulse transmission technology for outstanding performance and reliability. This technology is fundamentally different from traditional optocoupler relays and offers a number of decisive advantages.

Innovative Delcon technology

Pulse transmission DELCON uses pulse transformers to transmit the signal from the primary side to the secondary side, providing up to 4600 VAC galvanic isolation between the control and field sides. This type of isolation is important to prevent any possible electromagnetic interference or overvoltage effects that can occur in large industrial sectors.

High energy transfer efficiency: unlike optocoupler relays, where energy is drawn from the load circuit, DELCON relays' pulse transformer technology allows the use of high-quality output components that do not require additional amplification.

Outstanding Delcon relay performance

Low current leakage and no minimum load requirement: DELCON relays are able to operate without minimum load, which is essential in many applications where traditional relays would not work effectively. This is particularly important in situations where loads can be variable or uncertain.

High electrical robustness and reliability: these relays are designed to have very high electrical and mechanical viability, even under severe operating conditions, thanks to built-in protection circuits such as varistors and diodes.

Suitability for specific industries

DELCON relays are designed to operate under very demanding conditions, offering high fault and temperature tolerance. Their high isolation capacity and ability to protect against electromagnetic interference mean that they are particularly suitable for use in switchboards and automation cabinets, as well as in industries such as energy, transportation, and manufacturing.

These technical features make DELCON relays superior to other relays on the market - they are highly reliable and reduce operating costs in the long term, which is vital for any company looking for efficiency and continuity in their automation and power management processes.

10 YEARS WARRANTY

 

Why choose Delcon relays

  1. Delcon izmakasDurability and reliability: DELCON relays are designed to withstand the high loads and electromagnetic disturbances that are common in production lines and automation cabinets. They provide longer lifetimes without the need for frequent component replacement, which affects downtime and maintenance costs.
  2. Low power consumption and cost: these relays are more efficient compared to other relays as they require less control signal power, which means lower operating costs.
  3. Adaptability to requirements: DELCON relays can be adapted to specific customer requirements, providing an efficient solution to the specificities of different industries.

Delcon relays cost less and work for years

 
Load is 3A/240VAC/cosφ 0.4
Application is running 600 cycles/hour, 8h every weekday
and it is budgeted to run at least 10 years

Mechanical life 3 x 107
cycles

With resistive load (0,72kVA)
electrical life 400 000 cycles

With inductive load cosφ 0.4
0,7 x 4 x 105 = 280 000 cycles


260 days x 8 hours x 600 cycles
= 1 250 000 cycles year


Electrical life with this load is 280 000 cycles,
which means, one relay lasts
280 000 / 1250000 = 0,224 years
To avoid production stops the relay should be
changed at least 4 times/year

Electrical life does not depend on the number of cycles. The MTTF value indicates the calculated lifetime based on the components in the relay.

Delcon provides a 10-year warranty for this relay, guaranteeing a minimum lifetime of 10 years. Therefore, to prevent production stoppages, the relay should be replaced every 10 years.

Industries using Delcon relays

DELCON relays can be found in any industry, but as mentioned above they are ideal for use in automation cabinets for production lines and other industries where very high reliability is required. These relays are designed to cope with high levels of electromagnetic interference as well as very high loads such as solenoid valves and other mechanical components.

They are widely used:

  • In the woodworking industry
  • In the heating industry
  • In the food industry

 

With DELCON relays, your company can significantly reduce costs and increase production efficiency. These relays reduce the need for frequent maintenance, improve system reliability, and ensure longer operating cycles without interruptions.
