BP/BR safety switch with guard locking control via IO-Link

Diagnostic information

The safety switches in this group can forward comprehensive diagnostic information to the control system. The devices supply process-relevant parameters in real time. They even provide information on preventive maintenance. The sensors measure relevant parameters in the surroundings to indicate problems before a machine failure can occur. In combination with the IO-Link Gateways GWY-CB and ESM-CB, this information is polled from every switch and provided to the control system via IO-Link.

Series connection in the control cabinet

Wiring takes place in the control cabinet. All information about the status of individual safety switches can be forwarded directly to the control system.

Series connection in the field

For field wiring, EUCHNER offers the option of using M12 plugs and Y-distributors to interconnect several safety switches. Instead of the Y-plug connectors, it is also possible to use a passive distribution module. On this device, all safety and status signals are collected together in the field and forwarded to the control system using one cable.
