Product catalog summary
Overview
The PROTECT SELECT is a compact safety controller developed by K. A. Schmersal GmbH, designed to enhance occupational safety by replacing up to eight safety relays. It is user-friendly, requiring no programming skills, and features a multilingual menu with a color display for easy navigation and clear error/status messages.
Technical Specifications
  • Inputs: 18 digital safety inputs, including up to 9 dual-channel safety inputs, and 2 safe analog inputs with a resolution of 12 bits.
  • Outputs: 4 safety semi-conductor outputs, 2 safety relay outputs, 4 optional signal outputs, and 3 clock outputs.
  • Safety Classification: Up to PL e according to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 according to EN IEC 62061.
  • Dimensions: 52.5 x 100 x 118 mm.
  • Ambient Conditions: Operates in temperatures from −25 °C to +55 °C, with an IP20 enclosure, suitable for control cabinet installation.
Features
  • User-Friendly: Simple parameter setting, no programming skills required, and cleartext error/status messages.
  • Compact Design: Replaces multiple safety relays, suitable for various safety sensors like emergency stops and safety mats.
  • Flexibility: Adaptable to specific applications with adjustable fail-safe timers and input parameterization.
  • Reliability: Safe analog inputs and integration of critical process variables into the safety concept.
  • Economical: Saves time and money in project planning, wiring, programming, functional testing, and maintenance.
Company Background
The Schmersal Group is a privately owned company with over 1,200 employees in more than 50 countries. They focus on developing safety technology solutions for various industries, including elevators, packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, machine tools, and more. Their mission is to create a safer working environment through innovative safety systems and solutions.
Application Programs
  • Program 1: Supports one safety area with up to four dual-channel safety switching devices. It includes operating mode switches and an emergency stop function.
  • Program 2: Designed for two safety areas, suitable for machines with separate work and maintenance areas. It includes start/reset functions and feedback circuits for each area.
  • Program 3: Handles one safety area with up to six safety switching devices, offering a prioritised emergency stop with an independent reset function.
  • Program 4: Focuses on one safety area with safe bridging (muting), allowing material transport without machine stops.
Conclusion
The PROTECT SELECT is a versatile safety controller that enhances productivity and safety by offering customizable safety solutions for various industrial applications. It bridges the gap between conventional safety control modules and complex safety controllers, providing a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution.

What started out with the development and manufacture of a very wide variety of mechanical and non-contact switchgear has now become the world’s largest range of safety systems and solutions for the protection of man and machine. Over 1,200 employees in more than 50 countries around the world are developing safety technology solutions in close cooperation with our customers, thus contributing to a safer world. High flexibility - Motivated by the vision of a safe working environment, the Schmersal Group’s engineers are constantly working on the development of new devices and systems for every imaginable application and requirement of the different industries. New safety concepts require new solutions and it is necessary to integrate new detection principles and to discover new paths for the transmission and evaluation of the information provided by these principles. Furthermore, the set of ever more complex standards, regulations and directives relating to machinery safety also requires a change in thinking from the manufacturers and users of machines.
