As part of the safety chain, AFS contactors feature a fixed auxiliary contact block (2 NC, 2 NO) in safety color with mechanically linked auxiliary contacts and mirror NC contacts as well as a protective cover and built-in surge suppression. For integration into machine tool systems, data is available through ABB tools such as Sistema or FSDT for design according to EN ISO 13849 and EN 62061. To determine the performance level (EN ISO 13849) or SIL values (EN IEC 62061), B10D values are available. In the event of a fault, the contactors react with opening times less than 30 milliseconds. They have built-in surge protection and the power consumption of their contactor coil can be cut by up to 60 percent.
