The safety contact is co-extruded as an integral part of the profile, eliminating the need to 'fish' the safety contact into the profile, significantly reduced assembly time.
Removable terminal blocks and a two-digit numeric display assist in rapid installation and troubleshooting.
Two PNP solid-state safety outputs reduce response time and increase reliability.
Additional features include: three user-selectable operating modes (automatic start, start/restart interlock, and start interlock); MPCE monitoring; remote reset; exact channel select; floating blanking; 100mm DIN enclosure with removable terminal blocks; and two auxiliary outputs with follow mode or alarm mode.
An optional DeviceNet interface allows the controller to communicate non-safety data across the fieldbus.
An optional "multiple channel select" version enables eight patterns of masked beams to be stored and recalled as needed.
This feature allows for a quick setup change when material of different sizes needs to be inserted in to the protected area.
