Overview
What it is
EsMatix 3 is a safety switching device for pressure-sensitive sensors with 8.2 kΩ termination, in a 22.5 mm wide DIN rail housing with an illuminated LCD and three-colour LED. Bircher now marks it as discontinued.
What it is used for
Safeguarding machines, robots and automated workstations with Bircher safety mats or safety edges, and edges on gates and sectional doors.
Key features
- PLe, Category 3 to EN ISO 13849-1 with Bircher mats or edges.
- Inputs for one or two sensors.
- Solid-state safety outputs, 24 V DC, 0.5 to 250 mA, internally fused at 300 mA.
- Reaction time below 5 ms, recovery below 30 ms.
- Programmable reset (automatic, push button or external), holding time 0 to 1,000 ms and input debounce 0 to 45 ms.
- External device monitoring (EDM) and status output for fault or signal.
Buying considerations
Bircher states the product is being discontinued and available for a short time only. For new projects ESD3 is the current Bircher switching device for mats and edges. Supply is 24 V DC or 24 V AC only.
Installation considerations
IP20 device for a control cabinet, -20 to +60 °C. Pluggable screw terminals make replacement easier.
Compatibility
Bircher DoCs list EsMatix 3 together with ESM-52, ESM-54 and ESM-57 safety mats.

Questions about this product
Is EsMatix 3 still available?
Bircher labels EsMatix 3 as discontinued and says it will only be available for a short time. Ask for stock before ordering, or consider ESD3.
Can EsMatix 3 switch a 230 V load directly?
No. Its safety outputs are 24 V DC solid-state outputs rated up to 250 mA, so an interposing relay or contactor input is used.
