Banner Engineering K50 Pro Touch Buttons with Vibration Feedback

Banner Engineering K50 Pro touch buttons with vibration feedback are the latest extension of Banner’s most popular touch button family. The new touch buttons offer the same bright light output, ergonomic touch functionality, and robust housing as the rest of the line, with the addition of vibration feedback when the button has been touched.

FEATURES

• Unmistakable Touch Confirmation: Vibration provides unmistakable feedback that the button has been touched. Touch buttons with vibration feedback are ideal for users who prefer the tactile response of mechanical buttons over the visual response of traditional capacitive touch buttons.


• Faster Operator Response Times: Vibration feedback increases efficiency by quickly capturing the operator’s attention and enabling faster responses to accidental or mistaken touches. For example, in pick-to-light applications, vibration feedback can indicate an incorrect pick, immediately alerting operators to the mistake even if they are not looking directly at the button for visual confirmation.


• Easy Pro Editor or IO-Link Configuration: Depending on the model, K50 Pro touch buttons with vibration feedback are easy to configure using either IO-Link or the intuitive, PC-based Pro Editor software. When a 1- or 2-color flash animation is defined, users can also define a vibration pattern that follows the same pattern as the flash, or they can choose from several predefined vibration patterns including Normal, Strobe, Three Pulse, SOS, or Random. In addition, vibration pattern speed can be set to slow, standard, or fast.

Schmersal AZM201 Solenoid Interlock

Schmersal AZM201 Solenoid Interlock with its handy door handle actuator which has already been used in many swinging safety doors is now available with built-in RFID technology. The advantage: RFID allows a coding level of “high”. This means the interlock now offers increased tamper protection in accordance with the requirements of DIN ISO 14119. At the same time, the AZM201 solenoid interlock can forward extensive diagnostic information to a higher-level controller to enable preventative maintenance in line with Industry 4.0.

In the new version of the AZM201, the RFID technology makes it possible, among other things, for the user to choose between three types of coding and thereby determine the appropriate level of anti-tamper safety: In the basic version, the AZM201 accepts any suitable actuator. A second version only accepts the actuator associated with the teach-in process during initial activation. With a third version, this teaching-in process can be repeated as many times as required. A release block of ten minutes prevents an actuator from being replaced in the short term and enhances anti-tampering safety as a result. In this way, the user can choose a coding version that best suits his needs and also determine the level of anti-tampering protection. 

Finally, the AZM201 has an optional serial diagnostic cable. This means the solenoid interlock can be connected with up to 31 safety sensors and interlocks in series. The resulting “collective line” of diagnostic information is fed into a serial diagnostic gateway for evaluation. Each of the safety sensors and solenoid interlocks connected loads status signals, warning and error messages to the connected PLC, from which control commands, e.g. to unlock a solenoid interlock, can be issued to the devices connected in series. The advantage of the system lies not only in the significant reduction in cabling required, but also in the transmission of useful data to the higher-level PLC. This significantly reduces machine downtimes.

FEATURES

• Thermoplastic enclosure


• RFID-technology for needs-based protection against tampering/span>


• Max. length of the sensor chain 200 m


• Self-monitoring series-wiring of 31 sensors


• 3 LEDs to show operating conditions


• Sensor technology permits an offset between actuator and interlock of ± 5 mm vertically and ± 3 mm horizontally


• Suitable for hinged and sliding guards


• Intelligent diagnosis


• Manual release

Phoenix Contact Stand-alone IP20 IO-Link Master

Phoenix Contact Stand-alone IP20 IO-Link Master provide needed connectivity to IO-Link devices both inside and outside the control cabinet. With easy web-based configuration and communications interfaces for EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET, this makes them a great addition to the I/O family. 

IO-Link use is growing rapidly as a standard for communications down to sensors and actuators. The protocol provides a point-to-point communication using your existing three wire connections. Through this connection, you are still able to acquire a simple digital signal and also have the ability to activate additional communications to acquire additional process, configuration, and diagnostics data.

FEATURES

• Connection of up to eight IO-Link devices


• Communications via PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus/TCP, and OPC UA


• Convenient web server for simple the parameterization and diagnostics of IO-Link devices


• IODD files integration directly through web interface.


• Integrated two port switch for flexible networking options


• Quick installation, thanks to Push-in connection technology

IDEC HS1T interlock switch with solenoid

IDEC HS1T interlock switch with solenoid deliver 5,000N of locking force in a slim body, providing you with the flexible mounting options they want and the protection they need. Interlock switches are incorporated into machinery and equipment to monitor and lock gates, doors and similar access points. Many of these applications endure high vibration, thrown debris, physical abuse and even bypass attempts, so they must have a high locking force. HS1T interlock switches are strong, adaptable and secure; ensuring guarded locations are secure before starting a machine and denying access to certain areas during operation, features critical for operator safety and protection.

FEATURES

• 000N Locking force


• Smallest in the industry


• Unique 3-cam locking mechanism
