SCHLEICHER, represented in Australia by SICK , has released the Safety Center fail-safe mini-controller for tasks that are too big for conventional safety switching devices but too small for a complex fail-safe controller.
It provides simple operation without programming and diagnosis via optional field bus connection. It is suitable for safety light grids, safety mats & bumpers, safety laser scanners, safety light beams, emergency stop push button, safety interlocks.
The system is simple to program with a screwdriver, saving time in installation and startup. Reduced stoppage time cuts costs.
It is cost-effective in small and mid-range applications. Startup is possible without external devices. It is established technology for a wide range of sensors. Linkages and later changes are easy to make. The system requires low engineering costs and diagnosis is possible via field bus.
