Programmable safety controllers PROTECT PSC1

The PROTECT PSC1 programmable safety controller consists of freely programmable compact controllers and I/O extension modules. These ensure safe signal processing of E-Stop buttons, light curtains, safety door switches and other electronic and mechanical safety switching devices. In addition, it is possible to safely monitor axes using numerous functions. A connection to all common field bus systems can be established with the universal communication interface. The required field bus protocol is conveniently selected and set via software.

All series are characterised by a very high level of quality and a long service life. They are of modular design and can therefore be optimally adapted to the individual application.

PROTECT SELECT COMPACT SAFETY CONTROLLER WITH PROGRAMME SELECTION FUNCTIONS

The PROTECT SELECT compact safety controller with programme selection functions is a multifunctional module that is used to configure a protective device. The designer also has the option of integrating these into various machine functions. The four different basic programmes available can be conveniently adapted to the application via menu navigation and plain text display - no programming knowledge is required.

NUMEROUS FUNCTIONS OF THE PROTECT SELECT COMPACT SAFETY CONTROLLER WITH PROGRAMME SELECTION FUNCTIONS

The simple handling of this safety control system enables, for example, the individual setting of drop-out delay and debounce times. Various parameters such as cross-circuit monitoring can also be configured as required. A fact that the PROTECT SELECT control units have over safety relay modules. The user benefits from useful functions in all application programmes, such as:

• Connection of up to six dual-channel safety switching devices (with or without potential) up to PL e / SIL 3
• Adjustable safe semiconductor or relay outputs with STOP 0 or STOP 1
• Safe analogue monitoring of process variables such as temperature
• Fault diagnosis with clear text display
• Free assignment of feedback circuit (EDM), start-up tests, auto start, manual start and discrepancy monitoring
• Input filter for safety devices with contact bounce
• Short-circuit recognition by using the test pulse outputs

Depending on the application, the PROTECT SELECT compact safety control unit with programme selection functions can be used with four different settings. Programme 1 (a safety area with operating mode selection / enabling switch), for example, offers the option of connecting up to four two-channel safety switching devices. Overriding is carried out with the aid of operating mode selection and enabling switches. Further information on the settings ‘Two safety zones’ (programme 2), ‘One safety zone with up to six safety switching devices’ (programme 3) and ‘One safety zone with safe bridging (muting)’ (programme 4) is available in our catalogue, which can be downloaded from our website.
