Safety Controller monitors up to 6 zones.
Press Release Summary:
Model MZ-1 MultiZone Safety Controller interfaces between Tapeswitch Sensing devices and machine/process control. It also provides power to all connected B-Series Light Curtain emitters and receivers while monitoring their output signals. Able to detect sensor, cabling, or internal faults, unit accepts input power from 85-264 Vac at input frequency of 47-63 Hz, and also accepts regulated 24 Vdc supply. It has rugged metal enclosure and is designed to be wall mounted.
Original Press Release:
MZ-1 Multizone Controller
This new MultiZone Safety Controller is a custom designed controller that acts as an interface between various Tapeswitch Sensing devices and a machine or process control. It is designed to monitor up to six zones and provides power to all connected B-Series Light Curtain emitters and receivers and monitors the output signals. In addition to Light Curtains, the MultiZone Safety Controller interfaces with various pressure-sensitive, normally-open switches made by Tapeswitch including ribbon switches, sensing edges/bumpers, and switching mats.
