DX-W5-2CO/2CO-GC-J multi-contact guard locking switch, compact square body with actuator head

The Status-Rich End of the DX-W Platform

Every fence gate on an automated line is really two conversations: a safety conversation with the relay ("closed and locked?") and a production conversation with the PLC ("who opened which door, and is the andon right?"). Most compact door locks only have contacts for the first. The DX-W5 carries six gold-plated silver-alloy contact blocks so a single device can hold both conversations at once — dual- or triple-NC safety channels and NO status bits, straight off the door, no expansion relay in the panel.

Around that contact system it is a full member of the DX-W platform: 1300 N holding force, GD/GC locking logic, IP67 sealing, DX-K actuator keys, and a lock-state indicator light at the door. Its solenoid is the flexible one of the family — 24 V DC or 10-115 V AC/DC — which is why export machine builders often standardise on it. For simpler doors, the DX-W3 (2 blocks) or DX-W2 (4 blocks) cost less per point; for RFID coding and 2000 N, step to the DX-D6.

Typical Applications

Automated Line Fence Gates

Safety channels, lock feedback and PLC status from one device per gate — no expansion relay.

Machine-Tool Access Panels

1300 N holds the panel through coast-down; the indicator light shows lock state at the door.

Robot Cell Enclosures

>150,000 electrical operations for doors cycled every pallet or every changeover.

Relay-Based Control Panels

Six hard contacts feed redundant relay circuits directly — a fit for non-bus legacy architectures.

Mixed-Voltage Export Machines

One part number covers 24 V DC and 10-115 V AC/DC cabinets across markets.

Multi-Door Lines with Mixed Logic

GD on doors safe at power loss, GC on doors that must stay locked — same contact layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a 6-contact door lock genuinely worth it?

Whenever one fence door has to talk to more than one system. A typical automated-line gate needs: two NC channels to the safety relay for the door, one or two NC channels for lock monitoring, an NO contact for the line PLC's door-status bit, and another NO for the andon/HMI display. That is six signals — which normally means a 2- or 4-contact switch plus an expansion relay in the panel. The DX-W5 delivers all of them from the single device on the door.

How do the four contact configurations differ?

The code is [head compartment]/[body compartment] with C = NC and O = NO. 2CO/2CO gives 2NC+1NO on each side — balanced safety plus status. 3C/2CO and 2CO/3C bias one compartment toward pure NC channels. 3C/3C is all-NC: six safety-capable channels for series architectures or multi-relay circuits. Every configuration is available in GD and GC, so contact choice never constrains locking logic.

What does the dual-voltage solenoid option change in panel design?

The solenoid accepts 24 V DC or 10-115 V AC/DC, and the built-in indicator light likewise runs on 10-115 V AC/DC. Export machine builders shipping the same cabinet design to markets with different control voltages can keep one door-lock part number instead of maintaining regional variants or adding a dedicated transformer for the lock circuit.

What is the DC-13 250 V / 2.7 A rating tier for?

DC-13 is the inductive DC utilization category — relay and contactor coils. On top of the platform's standard DC-13 rating, the DX-W5 adds a 250 V/2.7 A tier, giving headroom when the interlock's contacts drive higher-voltage DC control circuits directly rather than a 24 V relay input. As always, keep motor and heater loads on contactors.

Does the DX-W5 have an emergency release?

A front or side emergency release is available as a factory option — specify it when the risk assessment identifies a trapped-operator scenario, so personnel inside the cell can mechanically release the 1300 N lock. Note the mounting side at order time; it is not a field retrofit.

Which lifetime and environmental figures are published, and which need factory confirmation?

Published: electrical life greater than 150,000 operations, IP67 sealing, 1300 N holding force, gold-plated silver-alloy contacts. Not separately published for this model: mechanical life cycle count, forced-separation force/travel and operating temperature range. If your specification requires those numbers documented, request them from the factory or consider the DX-W2, which publishes 1,000,000 mechanical cycles and -20 °C to +60 °C on the same platform.

How does the DX-W5 combine with safety relays for higher-level architectures?

Wire the NC door and lock channels into a DQSRN or DA31 safety relay; the relay performs cross-monitoring, and the achieved Performance Level or Category belongs to the complete circuit — relay, wiring and switch together — not to the door lock alone. The all-NC 3C/3C code is popular here because it feeds two independent relays from one door.

What details finalize an export order for the DX-W5?

Contact configuration (2CO/2CO, 3C/2CO, 2CO/3C or 3C/3C), GD or GC locking, solenoid voltage (24 V DC or 10-115 V AC/DC), the optional emergency release and its position, plus one DX-K actuator key per door. All eight standard codes ship with metal head and M20 conduit entry; confirm with the factory if a cable (X) or plastic-head (S) variant is required. Small trial orders are generally workable — contact the factory for MOQ and lead time.
