Euchner
Safety for smaller systems
With the CES-C07 safety switch and the ESM-CB safety module, Euchner has a duo in its portfolio that, according to the manufacturer, opens up new freedom in the design of safety solutions for smaller systems.
Together, they are able to communicate at Industry 4.0 level. They achieve requirements up to safety function category 4 and performance level e (PLe). Euchner 's safety switch provides process-relevant parameters in real time, for example to obtain information for preventive maintenance. For example, the sensors measure relevant environmental parameters and signal in good time whether a system failure is imminent.
The system also reports tampering attempts. In combination with the safety module, this information is automatically queried by each switch in the chain and made available to the control system via IO-Link.
