Safety terminals slash response times
DST1-XD0808SL-1 safety I/O terminals allow local outputs to be directly controlled by local inputs, giving the user a maximum response time of 18.7ms
This allows the MC-S Series control units to replace a safety relay in some applications.
As a fully monitored dual channel system, a single MC-S Series switch and control unit combines to fulfil category 3 requirements.
Available in three sizes with a plastic or stainless steel NEMA 6 enclosure, the MC-S Series switch satisfies most application requirements and is well suited to harsh environments.
A single MC-S Series control unit can provide individual monitoring and indication for up to six MC-S switches in applications with multiple guard doors.
Mechanical switches and MC-S Series switches may be used in concert with a single MC-S Series control unit in applications requiring both noncontact and mechanical safety interlock switches.
These switches are available with auxiliary contacts for individual guard door monitoring and tolerate misalignment to reduce nuisance tripping.
