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
The unit is easy to install, and a front panel access to selector switches allows for easy configuration modification.
A selection of scan codes allow the installer to choose unique scan frequencies, thereby avoiding crosstalk with adjacent systems or other infra-red emitting devices.
The PA4600-EP also has 625mA solid-state safety outputs that provide a wide range of interfacing options with industry standard safety relays.
Other features include: response time as low as 16 ms; simple two-box design no separate control box required; no cable needed between transmitter and receiver; two PNP safety outputs designed to directly switch machine primary control elements; choice of three operating modes - automatic start, start interlock and start/restart interlock; and adjustable mounting brackets.
