Highlights

Rotating Connections for Perfect Integration Optimized for Minimal Space Requirements Flexible Safeguarding
With its rotating connections, the RSL 200 provides maximum flexibility for integration. Cables can thus be routed optimally, and the required installation space is minimized. The RSL 200 is connected via a standard M12 connector with 8 pins or 12 pins depending on the device’s respective function.

 At 80 mm high with a 80 x 86 mm base area, the small dimensions of the RSL 200 makes it ideal for safeguarding compact vehicles. The devices have a scanning angle of 275° and an operating range of 3 m. The mounting bracket allows the RSL 200 to be aligned horizontally and vertically. Here, too, the design is optimized for minimal space requirements. Furthermore, if servicing is required, the devices can be swapped out easily with just two screws without needing to be realigned.

 Up to 96 configurable fields enable flexible adaptation to the speed, direction of travel and vehicle load. Switchover takes place in 3-field sets (triples), which each consist of one protective field and two warning fields. Up to 32 adapted configurations are therefore available.
Three Communication Options Quick Diagnosis with Mobile App High Availability Thanks to Removable Configuration Memory

All RSL 200 scanners have USB and Bluetooth interfaces for configuration and diagnosis. In addition, thanks to their integrated Ethernet TCP/IP interface, the RSL 230 / 235 models are already. Network-capable, e.g. for the transmission of measurement data for navigating AGVs and AMRs or for diagnosis via central access points.

  • USB
  • Bluetooth
  • Ethernet TCP / IP (RSL 230 or later

The RSL 200 mobile app enables easy access to status information and diagnostic data via Bluetooth – even if access to the device is limited. It allows important, detailed information to be collected remotely without having to interrupt the protective field. All messages are displayed in plain text and, if necessary, can also be sent directly to the Leuze service center.

The app can be used on smartphones and tablets with the Android or iOS operating system.

 The RSL 200 models have a removable configuration memory. If the device needs to be serviced, the device configuration can thus be quickly and easily transferred to a new device. Furthermore, if servicing is required, the devices can be swapped out easily with just two screws without needing to be realigned.

Leuze Safety Relays

With the MSI safety relays, individual safety sensors can be integrated quickly and easily into the safety circuit of machines and systems. The MSI contact extensions are used both as an output extension for OSSDs and for contact multiplication for evaluation units and safety controls.

Advantages

  • Compact and safe
    For the fast integration of individual safety sensors into the safety circuit of systems and machines, the safety relays offer the right solution.
  • Diverse application possibilities
    The application possibilities range from the monitoring of simple components such as E-Off, through to the integration of optoelectronic sensors.
  • Flexible installation and replacement
    The pluggable screw and spring-cage terminals allow the safety relays to be installed flexibly and replaced quickly.

Safety relay as port of the safety function - The safety function ensures that the drive can be shut down safely at all times – when the sensor is triggered and if a fault is detected. Here, the safety-related part of a control system (SRP/CS) in accordance with ISO 13849-1 is the central component necessary for execution of a safety function. This component evaluates signals coming from the sensors, detects cross-circuits on the sensor side and faults in the contactor. It also ensures safe shutdown of the drive. A safety sensor alone cannot fulfil these tasks – safety sensors are always just part of a safety function. In the simplest case, a safety relay performs the necessary tasks. The safety function is usually triggered by a person. Here, the technology of the safety relay recognizes the signals coming from the sensor and, via the shutdown paths, disconnects the supply voltage to the contactor – and the contactor in turn disconnects the power supply to the drive.

What is a Perimeter Guard?

A perimeter guard, also known as a safety fence, is a barrier used to keep employees clear of an area for safety, security, privacy, or to simply keep the work area looking clean and organize. Applications for perimeter guards commonly include robot cells or machinery where the guarding system cannot be attached directly to the machine. Due to the wide variety of perimeter guarding needs, we create custom perimeter guards that can be made from t-slotted aluminum, steel, electronic safety devices, wire mesh, polycarbonate, or a mixture of multiple product lines for a custom safety guard.

No matter your needs, our Barry Sales team along with our FazTek partner are here to help you through the process of designing and building your next custom perimeter guard or safety fencing system.
