100S-D180ED22C Allen Bradley

The Allen-Bradley 100S-D180ED22C is a Safety Contactor from the Bulletin 100S family, designed for use in safety-related applications.

⚙️ Product Details and Parameters (Specifications)

• Note on Auxiliary Contacts: The “22” in the catalog number 100S-D180ED22C indicates the auxiliary contact configuration (2 NO and 2 NC).

✨ Product Advantages

• Safety Functionality: The primary advantage is the use of mechanically linked or mirror contacts (as per IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L and EN50205). This design ensures that if a main power contact welds closed (fails), the Normally Closed (NC) auxiliary contact cannot change state (open), providing reliable feedback for safety monitoring circuits.
• High Reliability: Built to stringent safety standards (like SUVA third-party certification) for performance in critical machine safeguarding circuits.
• Robust Construction: Part of the MCS (Motor Control System) D family, indicating a heavy-duty design for high current applications (up to 180A).
• Global Compliance: Conforms to multiple international standards (UL, CSA, CE, etc.), making it suitable for global machinery exports.

⚠️ Important Considerations (Precautions)

• Safety Application: This device is specifically designed for safety circuits. It must be integrated into a functional safety system (e.g., in conjunction with a safety relay or safety PLC) to achieve the required Performance Level (PL) or Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for the machinery.
• Wiring: Always follow the wiring diagrams and instructions provided by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation, particularly for the main power connections and the coil voltage.
• Coil Voltage: Verify that the control power supply matches the coil voltage specification (110/130V AC for the ‘E’ code). Using the incorrect voltage will damage the coil.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect the contacts for wear, excessive heat, or signs of welding, especially in high-switching-frequency applications.
• Discontinued Status: The Bulletin 100S-D series may be marked as Discontinued by Manufacturer (depending on the date), meaning replacement or future support might require migration to a newer equivalent product line. Always check the current availability status with a Rockwell Automation distributor.

🎯 Product Applications

The Allen-Bradley 100S-D180ED22C Safety Contactor is primarily used to safely switch and isolate power in industrial machinery. Common applications include:

• Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Circuits: Used as the final output device to remove power from hazardous motion after an E-Stop is pressed.
• Safety Interlock Systems: Controlling power to machinery when a guard door or light curtain is opened or tripped.
• Motor Control: Safely isolating motors in high-power applications (up to 180A) where a safety function is required.
• General Load Switching: Any high-current industrial application that requires a positively-guided contact for reliable switching and monitoring in a safety-rated circuit.
