Safety Controller Replaces Relays

“The Preventa safety controller provides users with a flexible solution for monitoring all the different tasks of safety applications in one device,” says David Collins, product staff specialist at the vendor. “The savings over conventional safety systems are significant: up to 80 percent in power consumption, 68 percent less panel space required and 75 percent fewer wire terminations.” The Preventa XPSMC is equipped with an extensive library of certified safety functions for applications that must conform to Category 4 of standard EN 954-1. Other key features include user-friendly configuration software, and detailed diagnostics that provide an in-depth overview of the status of inputs and outputs, identifying any faults and their causes.
