Industrial Safety Interlocks meet sinking/sourcing needs.

Modules BD and BE of eGard series are intended for those who have PLC unit that operates sinking current. They interface with sourcing PLC input cards and work with eGard core modules. While BD handles up to 2 I/O, BE handles up to 8. Both are TUV-approved and part of fully modular system that can control access to hazardous machinery via gate switch and trapped key technology. They can also...
