USING CONTROLLERS IN SAFETY APPLICATIONS Understanding the fail-safe concept Tapeswitch sensing mat, edges, and bumpers often provide the first-line of protection for personnel and equipment. They are highly sensitive and feature press-at-any-point actuation. Properly installed and connected, they continuously monitor contact. However, to properly function as safety devices, they must be installed with a fail-safe monitoring circuit as shown below or with an equivalent fail-safe methodology. Tapeswitch Controllers Employ this Fail-Safe Concept. Understanding and Implementing the 4 conductor fail-safe...

PRSU Control Units can be used as safety devices for high-risk automation and machine control applications. They provide the highest level of safety offered by Tapeswitch, exceeding the requirements of category 3 as defined by EN ISO 13849-1: 2006. They also meet or exceed the safety content of the applicable OSHA, ANSI, and RIA Standards. The PRSU Controller has redundant safety output relays, is selfmonitoring, and is rated Control Reliable, which means that any fault in the safety-critical components will be detected and the machine will be rendered inoperative until the fault is corrected....

The PSSR/2 control unit is designed to be used in conjunction with Tapeswitch pressure sensitive sensor products to make a complete safety system. Sensors may take the form of safety mats, sensing edges, bumpers, or ribbon switches but must incorporate an integral end of the line resister. When the PSSR/2 is used with suitable Tapeswitch sensing edges, bumpers, switches or mats the system meets the requirements of EN13849-1:2006 PLd, EN62061 SIL2 and is a Category 3 configuration. It is an extremely compact unit which has a 22.5 mm DIN rail enclosure ideal for mounting in control panels. The...
