The Vital safety device from ABB is the heart of a new solution which makes it possible to install/connect many different types of safety device in the same safety circuit and still achieve safety category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1/EN ISO 13849-1. The Vital module is based upon a dynamic single-channel concept as opposed to conventional dual-channel safety relays. ABB have designed this unit to accommodate up to 30 dynamic sensors within the safety circuit which can be supervised by one Vital module. The Vital unit can therefore replace several safety relays. Safety components with output contacts can be connected to the Vital via low cost Tina adaptors. The Vital also has automatically or manually supervised reset selection, dual safety outputs, and an information output for reset indication and status information for PLC's.

Unused ports on the Tina 4A and 8A must be blanked by using a Tina 1A blanking plug.

UL, CSA

Seal off unused connectors in your safety controller with this robust blanking plug from ABB. Simply insert it into an empty M12 port to protect internal elements from wear and tear and extend the service life of your industrial equipment. Thanks to its wide operating temperature range between -10°C and +55°C, this unit is durable and can function effectively in harsh environments. It's compatible with Tina 4A and 8A connection blocks for versatility and easy use.

• Current consumption of 17mA for energy efficiency
• Operating humidity range between 35 and 85% for use in humid conditions
• IP67 protection class indicates it's dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to 1m for 30 minutes
