Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Contact degradation
Cause: Oxidation or pitting of relay contacts due to arcing during switching, leading to increased resistance and eventual failure to conduct.
Component overheating
Cause: Excessive current draw, poor ventilation, or aging of internal components (e.g., capacitors, resistors) causing thermal stress and eventual failure.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Intermittent or erratic operation of connected safety devices (e.g., emergency stops, guard doors)
  • Audible buzzing or humming from the module, indicating arcing or loose internal connections
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular infrared thermography inspections to detect abnormal heat patterns in the module and connected circuits before failure occurs.
  • Use a controlled environment with stable temperature and humidity, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and thermal cycling stress.
