Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020072R0400 URAX-C1R Safe Input?
The ABB 2TLA020072R0400, type 20-072-04 / URAX-C1R, is an AS-i safe input slave within the ABB Safety PLC product group. It provides two safe inputs for safety devices with dual-channel contacts together with a dedicated input for local reset, enabling conventional machine-safety devices to be integrated into an AS-Interface safety system.
The URAX-C1R is designed for safety devices with two potential-free contacts in NO+NO or NO+NC configurations. This makes it suitable for devices such as emergency-stop push-buttons and electromechanical safety switches where redundant contact channels must be monitored by the safety system.
Powered directly from the AS-i yellow cable, the module operates from a nominal 30 V DC AS-i supply and consumes less than 150 mA. Its compact yellow-and-black enclosure provides IP67 protection, while the local-reset functionality makes the URAX-C1R particularly useful for decentralised safety installations where a reset device is required close to the protected machine area.
Key Advantages
- AS-i safe input slave for dual-channel machine-safety devices.
- Provides two safe inputs for devices with potential-free contacts.
- Supports both NO+NO and NO+NC contact configurations.

Reliable Dual-Channel Safety Input Integration with Local Reset
Dual-channel emergency stops and safety switches use redundant contacts so that the safety-control system can detect faults that could otherwise prevent a protective function from operating correctly. The ABB URAX-C1R provides the interface required to connect these devices to an AS-i safety network, accepting safety devices with either NO+NO or NO+NC potential-free contacts.
The additional local reset input allows a reset device to be incorporated close to the machine or guarded area where required by the safety design. Combined with its direct AS-i supply, 12 ms module reaction time and IP67 enclosure, the URAX-C1R provides a compact decentralised interface for safety applications up to PL e / Category 4 and SIL 3 when the complete safety function is appropriately designed and validated.
