Any fault on the hardware or in the software of the control systems shouldn’t lead to hazardous situations, is the requirement in the European Machinery Directive. Safety Relay and Timer switches are becoming quite popular as they help fulfil this requirement. They will detect any unwanted changes in the output and input devices along with the internal failures thus enabling the power to be removed from a loadeven if a contact is welded, and prohibit a subsequent restartof the load until the failure is corrected
The EuropeSafety Relay and Timers Market is estimated to be worth $xx billion in 2015 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of xx.xx% during the forecast period to reach $xx billion by 2020.
The Europe Safety Relaysmarket is broadly segmented on the basis of types,end users and geography.
