SICK RLY3-OSSD200 ReLy Safety Relay for OSSD Safety Sensors

Description

RLY3-OSSD200 is a SICK ReLy safety relay (part no. 1085344), an evaluation unit for safety sensors with OSSDs. It is 18 mm wide, has spring-terminal front connectors and is wired hard, so no software is needed. The data sheet lists SIL 3 (IEC 61508), PL e (ISO 13849-1) and category 4 (iso 13849-1); outputs are 2 enabling current paths (safe); 2 application diagnostic outputs (not safe); 1 test pulse output (not safe).

Safety evaluation with the RLY3-OSSD200

The OSSD version is designed to evaluate safety sensors that already have solid-state OSSD outputs, such as safety light curtains and safety laser scanners. The relay checks both channels for sequence (the data sheet lists sequence monitoring) and opens its enabling current paths when a protective device trips, with restart interlock and external device monitoring available.

Safety figures as printed: SIL 3 (IEC 61508), Category 4 (ISO 13849-1), PL e (ISO 13849-1), PFHD 1.0 x 10⁻⁹, mission time 20 years (ISO 13849-1), stop category 0 (IEC 60204-1). Reset: automatic; Manual. The two enabling current paths are N/O contacts, positively guided, switching 10 V AC … 230 V AC and 10 mA … 6 A up to a total of 12 A. Response time 10 ms.

Type code RLY3-OSSD200 and part number 1085344

RLY3-OSSD200 is catalogued under part number 1085344 in the ReLy line. Short type codes hide the input side: the letters after RLY3 tell you which kind of safety sensor the unit expects, so a wrong guess means the sensor cannot be connected as intended. Quote the part number, and describe the sensors on your machine (light curtain, scanner, door switch or emergency stop) so we can confirm the match.

Cabinet installation and validation checklist

The relay is a DIN-rail unit only 18 mm wide, intended for a control cabinet (IP20 (IEC 60529), ambient –25 °C … +55 °C, supply 24 V DC (16.8 V … 30 V)). Before putting a machine into service, check: input wiring and test pulses, reset type (automatic or manual), EDM loop to the contactors, and the actual response time of the whole chain, since the relay opens its paths in 10 ms but the actuators add their own delay. Keep the performance level calculation for the complete safety function on file.

About brand

SICK is the German maker of industrial sensors: photoelectric and proximity sensors, safety laser scanners and light curtains, encoders, distance sensors, code readers and gas analysers. Erwin Sick, an optics engineer, founded it in Munich in 1946, and in 1952 it introduced its first marketable accident-prevention light curtain, which protected press operators by stopping the machine when a hand broke the light beam. The company moved to Waldkirch in the Black Forest in 1956 and is still headquartered there. It is a privately held company, and has been an Aktiengesellschaft (AG) since 1996.

Choosing a SICK sensor

For object detection, the sensing principle comes first. A retro-reflective sensor (WL series) sends light to a reflector and switches when an object breaks the beam; it is reliable over long distances and easy to align. A sensor with background suppression (WTB series) detects an object at a set distance and ignores what is behind it, which suits conveyors with shiny or dark backgrounds. A through-beam pair (WS/WE) gives the longest range and the highest reliability in dust. For transparent bottles and film, use a model built for transparent objects (for example WL12G-3B or WL150-P420). The digits in the code also matter: "P" usually means a PNP output and "N" NPN, and the last digits set the connector or cable. For machine guarding, a safety laser scanner such as nanoScan3 or microScan3 protects an area, while a safety controller such as Flexi Soft combines several safety devices.

Where SICK products are used

In Oman and the GCC, SICK sensors are used in packaging and bottling lines, food and beverage plants, logistics and airport baggage handling, cement and steel plants, ports and cranes, automated warehouses, and on machines built by European OEMs. SICK safety scanners guard robots and automated guided vehicles, and its encoders give position feedback on motors, hoists and conveyors.

Ordering SICK products: what we need

Send the type code and the 7-digit SICK part number from the label (for example WTB12-3P2431 together with its part number). For a replacement sensor, add the output (PNP or NPN), connection (M8, M12 or cable) and sensing distance. For encoders, add the interface (incremental, SSI, PROFIBUS, PROFINET), resolution and shaft type. For safety scanners, tell us the model and whether the existing configuration needs to be kept.
