Tapeswitch safety mats often provide 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 the protected area. However, to properly function as safety devices, mats must be installed with a fail-safe monitoring circuit as shown below or with an equivalent fail-safe methodology. Tapeswitch offers controllers that employ the fail-safe Concept. The fail-safe concept monitors the sensor status at all times. In the event of a failure, the fail-safe concept will simulate...
