Why Choose the Lovato SRALC21 Safety Relay?
The Lovato SRALC21 is a compact and reliable single-function safety relay designed for monitoring safety light curtains and other protective devices equipped with OSSD outputs. As part of the Lovato SRA safety relay series, it provides dependable interface and switching functions for machinery safety systems requiring high levels of functional safety.
The SRALC21 features two normally open safety relay outputs and one PNP status output, with forcibly guided relay contacts for reliable safety switching. It supports selectable manual or automatic restart and includes an external device monitoring (EDM) feedback input for supervising connected contactors. LED-based diagnostics help operators identify operating and fault conditions quickly.
With a nominal 24 V DC auxiliary supply and safety performance up to Category 4, PLe according to EN ISO 13849-1, the SRALC21 is ideally suited to industrial machinery using light curtains, laser scanners, RFID safety devices and other equipment with fail-safe OSSD outputs. Its slim 22.5 mm housing mounts directly onto standard 35 mm DIN rail inside electrical control panels.

Reliable Safety Control for OSSD Devices
Safety relays such as the Lovato SRALC21 provide the interface between electro-sensitive protective equipment and the machine control circuit. When a connected light curtain or other OSSD safety device detects an unsafe condition, the relay controls its safety outputs so that hazardous machine operation can be stopped through the associated safety circuit.
The SRALC21 is specifically designed for devices with fail-safe OSSD outputs and combines forcibly guided relay contacts with restart selection, external contactor monitoring and system-status signalling. This makes it well suited to safety systems where dependable monitoring, straightforward diagnostics and compact panel installation are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial safety light curtain monitoring.
- Machine guarding and access protection systems.
- Laser scanners with OSSD safety outputs.
- RFID safety devices with OSSD outputs.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and material handling equipment.
