PRODUCT OF THE DAY: Machine-Mounted Safety Technology

The new EP1908 EtherCAT Box expands the open safety technology of TwinSAFE to include a flexible, IP 67-rated variant that is ideal for use outside of electrical cabinets and in harsh environments. The cost effective EP1908 is designed to withstand demanding industrial environments while conforming to the requirements of IEC 61508 SIL 3 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 PLe. Also, it enables the acquisition of safety sensor signals directly on the machine instead of having to mount the safety I/O inside a control cabinet.
