Reliable Auxiliary Signalling for Contactors

Auxiliary contact blocks such as the LOVATO BFX1011 are used to provide low-current control and indication contacts alongside the main power switching function of a contactor. This allows control panels to monitor contactor state, enable electrical interlocks, provide PLC feedback or operate pilot lights and signalling circuits.

The 1NO + 1NC arrangement makes the BFX1011 useful where one circuit must close while another opens in response to the contactor position. Its mechanically linked and mirror contact features also make it suitable for applications where dependable contact status feedback is important within the wider control system design.

Typical Applications

• Motor starter control panels.
• Industrial contactor feedback and status indication.
• PLC input signalling from contactor assemblies.
• Electrical interlocking between contactors.
• Machine control and automation panels.
• Pump, fan and conveyor control systems.
• Maintenance and replacement of LOVATO BF series contactor accessories.
