A Safety Relay Module monitors safety devices and controls the stop function of connected machines. It ensures immediate power cut-off in case of danger or system failure.
What is the difference between a Safety Control Module and an Expansion Module?
- Control Module: The main unit that processes safety inputs and controls outputs.
- Expansion Module: Used to increase the number of safety outputs or enhance functionality.
What are ESPE Laser Scanners used for?
Laser Scanners such as the LGA10 (270°) and LGA60 (320°) provide area monitoring, collision prevention, and perimeter protection for autonomous vehicles and robotic systems.
