ELECTRICAL AUTOMATION
Rely on a relay – solutions for more productivity Industrial relays needs to be reliable when it comes to electrical automation processes. Here’s why.
Reliability is key to relays, which are important for keeping manufacturing plants running smoothly.

elay modules are universal isolating elements for use in electrical automation, and because of this versatility, there are always different requirements for them and their specific application. When selecting a relay module for your food and beverage application, and indeed, all industrial applications, there is an ever-present risk of incorrect dimensioning of the loads or signals to be switched. In instances of incorrect relay selection, the result can be product malfunction or premature loss of the relay module leading to costly downtime and equipment replacement. With that said, choosing a partner that can help you throughout this process and give you access to a relay range that is globally recognised as a leader in reliability and performance is very important. As the national distribution partner of Weidmüller products and solutions in Australia, APS Industrial is that partner. For more than 40 years, Weidmüller has specialised in the optimisation of cabinet infrastructures and their complete range of relay modules, solid-state relays and additional value-added services combine the highest standards with ultimate quality. These relay modules require
less wiring effort, offer housing optimisation through space saving, have optimal marking and also offer cost reductions. They are durable, reliable and
available in many different designs. No matter the requirement in your plant or application, there is a tailor-made relay solution that offers increased productivity and safety. F
Timing functions Timing relays are used in automation technology to compensate for errors due to short cycle times. Special Loads Relays to switch and monitor special loads, such as inductors and high inrush currents, safely and reliably. Sensor Isolation Space-saving and fast switching coupling elements to decouple sensors from the field. High Switching Frequencies Specially designed solid-state relays for reliable and fast decoupling of signals up to 550kHz. Signal Adaption Adaption of signals and their transmission from other systems to the control cabinet level. Functional Safety Specific safety relays required for signals in process safety-related systems.
APS Industrial distributes a range of relay modules that require less wiring than some other models.
Power Power solid state contactor up to 75 A and miniature contactors up to 30 A.
