MAGSAFE

APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW Connects the Local Access controller to the Magsafe Control Unit. The cablecomes with 8 way circular, bayonet locking industrial connectors at either end for simple connection to both the Local Access Controller and the Magsafe Control Unit. The Smartscan Magsafe™ solution is used for a variety of traditional safetygate interlocking and access control applications. These are found across many different industries including food & drink, automotive, building materials, metal working, paper industries and many others.Typically mounted on the access doors e.g. sliding, sash and double doorsproviding direct access to the machines workings or gates set in the perimeter fencing around a machine.The principle behind locking, gate interlocks is linking the opening and closingof the access door with the power supply to the dangerous machine inside. When the access door is opened the power to the machine is removed preventing it from continuing any further dangerous motion and therefore making it safe for the operator while in the danger zone.In some applications the Magsafe™ has been used to facilitate the use ofremovable guarding, as the guarding has to be put back in place and locked using the electro magnetic interlocks. In other more complex applications the run down timers have been used to facilitate the industrial robot coming to a stop at a CD227/080906HANDBOOK 8
