Programmable Safety Controller maximizes machine uptime.

Press Release Summary:




Offering output current ratings up to 4 A, samos®Pro series enables safe load switching in industrial machine safety circuits. Modular configuration can start with as few as 8 inputs and 4 outputs and scale to 384 inputs and 192 outputs. Rated for 24 Vdc input (nominal), these 22.5 mm wide DIN rail-mounted modules are available with screw clamp or cage clamp pluggable terminals. If short circuit occurs, controller only switches off power outputs from locally affected module.

Wieland Electric Increases Output Current Rating for Programmable Safety Controller to 4 Amps



ONTARIO, CANADA -- Wieland Electric Inc., a leading global manufacturer of innovative electrical interconnect technology, has increased the output current for its programmable safety controllers to 4 amps, giving machine design engineers a more versatile and cost-effective means of safely switching loads in a range of industrial machine safety circuits.



Each output of the samos®Pro programmable safety controller is now capable of switching up to 4 amps, giving the devices a higher output current rating.



"In addition to the increased output current rating, the samos®Pro Series controllers have been designed to provide maximum machine uptime," said Nick Styler, safety specialist at Wieland Electric. "In the event of a short circuit, the controller is designed to only switch off power outputs from the locally affected module, while maintaining power to other modules of the safety system. This enables machine operators and technicians to troubleshoot the problem circuit without interrupting other elements of the system."



The Wieland samos®Pro Series programmable safety controllers are approved for monitoring and control of machines in safety applications up to Category 4 (EN954-1), PLe (EN13849-1) and SIL3 (EN626061) standards. The modular configuration can start with as few as 8 inputs and 4 outputs and be scaled to an impressive 384 inputs and 192 outputs. The 22.5mm wide DIN rail mounted samos®Pro Series modules are rated for 24Vdc input power (nominal), and are available with either screw clamp or cage clamp pluggable terminals. The programming software, samosPLAN, is available at no charge and offers a simple and intuitive programming interface, powerful simulation tools, and effective troubleshooting and reporting functions.
