Rockwell Automation 440R MSR19E Minotaur Expansion Unit Safety Relay User Manual
Minotaur msr18t, msr19e safety relays
 
General
The safety relay by itself can not provide safety. The 
safety relay requires proper component application 
and maintenance. The application must anticipate 
failures by using system safety risk assessment. This
product must be installed and maintained in 
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as
well as applicable standards.
MINOTAUR MSR18T, MSR19E SAFETY RELAYS
Mounting
The units must be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. 
INSTRUCTION SHEET
ATTENTION: To prevent electrical shocks, disconnect power source before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Save these instructions for future use.

insulation rating. Typical screwdriver needed is a flat 
blade 3 mm (.125 in.) wide. Tighten screws to 
0.5-0.8 Nm (5-7 lb.in.).
 
 ATTENTION: 
 
 
 The auxiliary terminals are NOT monitored 
 and must not be used as safety outputs. These
 may be used for data and signaling.
 Protection of Safety Circuits.
 To avoid contact welding, a fuse must be connected 
 externally. See performance specifications sheet 
 for details.

Construction
The relays and expander units have (4) groups of terminals:
 1. Power Terminals:
 
(A1-A2) for 110V AC (23061, 23063) or
 230V AC (23062, 23064) or
 (+B1 -B2) for 24V AC/DC
 All units have a built-in transformer protected by an 
 electronic fuse.
 2. Input Terminals:
 The E-Stop and Gate interlock operator: 
 Ch 1 (T11,T12), Ch 2 (X1,X2) (Fig. 1, 3, 4, 5)
 Start button: (T31...T34) (Fig. 1, 4, 5)
 Two-hand operator (T11...T34) (Fig. 2)
 Expander Feedback (T34, T35, S1...S4, J1, J2) (Fig. 4)
 *3. Safety Output Terminals:
 Relay: 13-14...53-54
 Expander: 13-14...83-84
 These are monitored outputs. 
 These outputs are voltage free.
**4. Auxiliary Terminals:
 Relay: 61-62, 73-74, Expander: 91-92, 101-102

Applications: E-Stop, Gate Interlock, Two Hand
Control, Expanders and Auxiliary Relays 
E-Stop (Fig. 1)
a) Use an E-Stop button conforming to EN 418. It must have (2)
 Normally Closed (N.C.) contact blocks. The contact blocks 
 must conform to EN 60947-5-1 positive-opening operation.
b) Use a start/reset momentary pushbutton with a single contact
 block with (2) circuits (1) Normally Open (N.O.) and (1) N.C. 
 If two separate blocks are used, the N.O. must be assembled
 to the operator first and the N.C. assembled on it, so that if the
 N.O. welds, the N.C. will be held open and a fault detected 
 (See Fig. 2B). 
Fig. 1
Two-Hand Control (Fig. 2A)
This device conforms to the requirements of EN574 IIIC of less
than 0.5 sec. of synchronous actions of two buttons. Use only 
pushbuttons with two direct-opening contact blocks; each 
contact block must have a N.O. and N.C. If four separate blocks 
are used, the N.O. must be assembled to the operator first, and 
the N.C. assembled onto it, so that if the N.O. welds, the N.C. 
will be held open and a fault detected (See Fig. 2B). The 
two-hand buttons and safety relay must be installed in the 
same enclosure (IP54 minimum). Wires leading from the 
two-hand buttons to the relay must be separated to prevent 
undetected shorts between lines.

Attaching an Expander Relay (Fig. 4)
The expander can be used with E-Stop, Gate 
Interlock and Two-Hand Control.

Gate Interlock (Fig. 3)
Fig. 3
Attaching Auxiliary Relays (Fig. 5)
The auxiliary relays must be of the "positively-guided/
Direct Drive
TM
" style conforming to EN 50205. The
auxiliary relays may be monitored by connecting
N.C. contacts in series to the reset circuit.

Maintenance
The relay and its application must be inspected 
periodically based on environmental and 
operating conditions. Causes of contamination
must be eliminated. Worn and broken assemblies
must be replaced. Fasteners must be securely 
re-tightened. Unit has no customer serviceable
parts. Fault conditions must be corrected before
restoring power. After maintenance, test the 
control system under controlled conditions.
