PICO-GUARD

™

Fiber Optic Controllers

• Flexible and easy to install, the controller is a low-cost alternative to cumbersome and costly methods required for machine safeguarding. • Each of the four channels controls multiple inputsto protect personnel from hazardous equipment, and to protect critical tooling or materials in process. • Controller signals the machine control circuit to stop when the system detects a loss in light signal or receives a safety stop request from its Universal Safety Stop Interface (USSI) input.• Each channel can control several fiber optic Safety Interlock Switches in the same fiber loop. • Each channel can monitor a separate part of a machine, such as doors, entry gates and sensors. • USSI connects multiple PICO-GUARD Controllers and othersafety devices in a single safety circuit, when required.• Diverse-redundant and self-checking design exceeds control reliability and meets Safety Category 4 per ISO 13849 (EN 954-1) and IEC 61496-1 Type 4 requirements.
