Welcome to the NEWSLETTER Issue 01-2008
Wednesday, 14. May 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Acquiring and keeping track of machinery safety requirements almost has become a "mission impossible" because of the multitude of available safety switchgear but also - and not in the least - due to the new standards and directives being continuously published and implemented. Furthermore, many interesting informative activities and meetings are organised, which all are worth attending. With our new e-mail newsletter, we will facilitate your life and keep you informed about the latest news and innovations in the industry.
Only one click away.
To facilitate the navigation and minimise your time expenditure, we will only just mark out the themes. If you want more information, just click the link of the desired theme to be redirected, e.g. to a concise product description, a technical article or detailed information about a safety standard. The desired information therefore is just one click away. The information furthermore is grouped in five categories, which also facilitates reading.
We hope you enjoy our newsletter. Do not hesitate to send us your feedback - comments and suggestions as well as critical reviews - and feel free to forward it to your interested colleagues!

New Protect PSC safety controller
With its modular design, the new PROTECT PSC safety controller can be accurately adjusted to the individual requirements; it furthermore offers interesting additional functions. For instance, the controller can be used in hardwired mode without programming; in this case, the system functions will result from the set-up of the module. Considering that non safety PLC functionalities can be integrated as well, the use of a conventional PLC is in many cases no longer required.

This information can also be transmitted through the signal wires and visualised on external operating panels or monitored by the safety controler. In this way, the user can retrieve for instance if the safety guard is open or closed. more
