Purchase now: Schneider Electric XPSUAT13A3AP Safety Module
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Schneider Electric XPSUAT13A3AP (Model: XPS Universal AT), a state-of-the-art Safety Relay Module from the Harmony / Preventa XPS Universal range. This specific model is designed for monitoring Emergency Stop circuits and Guard Switches where a Time Delayed Output is required (Safe Stop 1 – SS1). It is essential for machines with high inertia parts (like large fans, mixers, or saws) that need time to spin down to a safe speed before access is granted to the operator.
Technical Specifications and Universal Compatibility
The XPSUAT13A3AP serves as a universal replacement for multiple legacy modules (like the XPSATE series). It features a wide supply voltage capability: **24 V AC/DC** AND **48-240 V AC/DC** in a single unit, reducing inventory complexity. It offers **3 Instantaneous Safety Outputs** (Stop Category 0) for immediate motor disconnection and **3 Delayed Safety Outputs** (Stop Category 1) for controlled braking or delayed access. The time delay is adjustable from **0 to 900 seconds** via precise selector dials on the front, protected by a sealable clear cover.

Expert Installation Advice: Smart Diagnostics
The XPS Universal series isn’t just a relay; it communicates without a fieldbus. Expert Tip: Instead of hardwiring the auxiliary contact to a lamp, connect the **Z1 Pulse Output** to a standard PLC digital input. Using the Schneider software function block (library available for free), the module sends a coded pulse train that tells the PLC exactly why it tripped (e.g., «Cross circuit detected on Ch1», «Time delay active», «Feedback loop open»). This eliminates hours of probing with a multimeter during downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use it for light curtains?
A: Yes, it supports OSSD inputs (PNP signals) from light curtains, as well as potential-free contacts from mechanical E-Stops and magnetic switches.
Q: How do I set the delay time?
A: There are three dials on the front: a range selector (e.g., 0-90s, 0-900s) and a fine-tuning decimal dial. The delay logic initiates as soon as the instantaneous outputs open.
