Georg Schlegel
Compact, safe, self-monitoring
Georg Schlegel With the 'MKTOSFE' and 'MKPTOSFE' contact elements from the 'MK/MKP' series, Georg Schlegel is launching two compact solutions on the market that offer increased protection for man and machine in industrial applications thanks to integrated fault protection.
Fault protection enables continuous monitoring of the connection between the emergency stop switch and contact block. This self-monitoring function of the two modules reliably detects two critical faults: If the emergency stop switch has not been fitted correctly, the system prevents the machine from starting. If the connection is interrupted during operation, a switch-off signal is automatically triggered and the machine is immediately put into a safe state; it can only be put back into operation once the fault has been rectified. The MKTOSFE with screw connection enables classic wiring, while the MKPTOSFE with push-in connection allows tool-free installation. Both variants combine a normally closed contact with positive opening and a normally open contact that serves as a monitoring contact for fault shutdown.
