SAFETY CONTROLLER WITH INTEGRATED AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

Drive technology and the safety of machinery go hand in hand: in addition to an integrated solution encompassing safe drive systems and PLCs, safety mini-controllers like the Protect PSC1 from Schmersal also allow safety monitoring of drive-related parameters such as speed, acceleration, and position. Plus, thanks to communication modules, integration into the control and management level is straightforward, including with OPC UA if required.
