Schmersal PROTECT-IE-02 PLC Module

Schmersal PROTECT-IE-02 PLC Module is an input-expander in the PROTECT-IE safety platform that extends a system’s safety sensing capability. It provides connections for up to four sensors per input expansion, enabling use with safety sensors such as BNS, emergency-stop devices, and interlocks, and it features two independently monitored safety contacts to form safe-stop circuits. The module is catalogued as 101182806 with EAN 4250116202126 and is listed under the PROTECT-IE family; it complies with EN IEC 60204-1, EN IEC 60947-1, EN IEC 60947-5-1, EN IEC 60947-5-3, EN IEC 60947-5-5, EN IEC 61508, EN IEC 62061, and EN ISO 13849-1, underscoring its safety‑critical role. Note that PROTECT-IE-02 is documented as an Auslaufprodukt (discontinued), indicating that Schmersal may offer newer PROTECT-IE variants as replacements in current catalogs. This module is intended for safety-related input expansion in machinery control systems, enabling reliable monitoring of multiple sensors while maintaining compatibility with Schmersal’s safety logic and interlock devices.
