Leuze Electronic has expanded its product range in the area of safety at work. With its programmable safety controls and an expanded line of safety relays, Leuze Electronic offers safe products for all applications in machine and system construction. Together with the wide range of safety sensors, the safety components offer complete safety-related automation for a wide range of machine types.
With the new safety relays, many smaller safety tasks can be dealt with. From the monitoring of simple components, such as E-STOP or safety switches, to the integration of optoelectronic sensors or standstill monitoring of motors: with the 22.5mm housings, the relays have a compact design and can be installed in the switch cabinet in a space-saving manner. Modules with adjustable time delay and contact extensions round out the offering.
With the new safe controls of the MSI 400 product range, Leuze Electronic offers both 24 inputs/outputs as well as an Ethernet interface and integrated industrial Ethernet protocol such as Profibus and Ethernet IP in a likewise compact design of 45mm. The safety controls are suitable both for the safe monitoring of simple safety functions, as well as for performing more complex safety tasks. In addition, the controls can be flexibly expanded to up to 116 safe inputs and 56 safe outputs.
With the MSI.designer programming software, the project planner can easily configure each application of the safety circuit. For logic programming, a library of up to 40 certified function modules is available. Up to 300 of these can be freely integrated per project by means of drag and drop.
