Schmersal 101210666 AZM 161 B ST2-AS RAPT – AS-Interface Safety Solenoid Interlock
The Schmersal 101210666 (AZM 161 B ST2-AS RAPT) is an electromechanical solenoid interlock from the Schmersal AZM 161 series with integrated AS-Interface Safety at Work. It connects directly to an AS-i bus through a single M12 connector, which carries both the AS-i data and the 24 V DC auxiliary supply for the solenoid. There is no parallel wiring of individual contacts.

- Holding force: 2,000 N
- Latching force: increased, 30 N
- Housing: double-insulated IP67 thermoplastic

Typical Applications
- Guard locking on machines with AS-i Safety at Work networks
- Walk-in guarded areas where operators could be trapped inside
- Process protection on hinged, sliding and removable guards
- Direct replacement of AZM 161 B ST2-AS RAPT units in existing AS-i installations
Note: the actuator is ordered separately. With the power-to-lock principle, the guard can be opened immediately after a power failure. Schmersal states these interlocks may only be used for personnel protection in special cases, after a thorough evaluation of the accident risk.
