        • Pluto Manager is a software tailored for the safety PLC Pluto. Programming is done in ladder and together with the function block creates the structure of your safety functions. The software comes with predefined function blocks approved by TÜV to facilitate the work on designing the safety functions.

          Pluto Manager gives you a structured overview of Pluto’s, gateways and peripheral components in large and small projects. It gives you an overview and control of the sensors and actuators, and the reactions between them. Pluto Manager also contains manuals for the software and hardware that are connected and needs to be handled through the program.

          The interface gives the option to get the status directly from Pluto’s two bus options, AS-i and Pluto bus. There are also diagnostic functions and the option to export data.
      • Safety controllers

      • Vital safety controller and safety relays

        We offer safety relays for all kinds of safety devices. Our safety relays have great flexibility and a wide range of input options. The relays are small and compact with an excellent reliability and safety level.

        When several safety devices should control the same output, it is quite common to connect them in series. But to reach PL e, serial connection is not possible and each device should have its own safety relay. Vital offers the capability to exclusively control smaller machine safety systems that would otherwise have required a programmable controller or multiple safety relays. With the Vital safety controller, up to 30 safety devices can be connected in series to one Vital and still reach PL e.

              Eden is a non-contact safety sensor for interlocked doors and safe position sensing. The safety sensor is used to assure that a machine stops when a door or hatch is opened. It can also be used to monitor if a robot is in a fixed position when someone enters the working area of the robot.

              A non-contact safety sensor consists of two complementary parts that can sense each others presence without mechanical contact. This enables more flexible mounting compared to traditional mechanical switches. Eden is constantly communicating between the two parts and any failure will directly lead to a stop signal.

Magne is usually used when access to the dangerous zone and the consequent stopping of the machine might only happen when specific conditions are met, at the end of the cycle for example.

              Magne 1 and 3are non-safe locks and must be associated to a safety interlocking device in safety applications.
              Magne 2integrates an Eden safety sensor and the interlocking function can reach up to a PLe/SIL 3.
              Magne 1B, 2B & 3Bhave all an integrated permanent magnet which holds the door closed when no power is supplied.

It can also monitor that a robot is standing still in a monitored position when someone enters the robots working area.

              A non-contact safety sensor consists of two complementary parts that can sense each others presence without mechanical contact. This enables more flexible mounting compared to traditional mechanical switches. Sense is constantly communicating between the two parts and any failure will directly lead to a stop signal. Sense works together with all of our control modules.

              GKey is a robust safety lock with a die cast housing for hinged and sliding doors. GKey offers an interlocking function reaching PL e/SIL 3 with high level coding. Power is needed to unlock GKey which makes GKey a safety lock.

              GKey is fitted with an rear escape release button, manual unlocking (auxiliary release) and offers four positions to integrate 22 mm pilot devices. By integrating the pilot devices into the switch housing, the number of external boxes for emergency stops, push buttons and selectors are reduced – together with the cables and mounting brackets they would require. This results in a simplified installation, as well as less space used.

              结构简单,处理严重下滑ctly linked to the key and bolt - suitable both for hinged and sliding doors - minimizes the number of moving parts and the risk of mechanical problems.

                  • Safeball

                  • Innovative and ergonomic machine control

                    Safeball consists of a spherical ball containing two embedded pushbutton switches, one on each side of the ball. To be able to start and operate a machine both buttons must be activated. The risk of unintentional activation is thereby minimized and the device is simple and ergonomic to use.

                    Safeball can be utilised for either one-hand or two-hand applications. For a two-hand control device the operator needs to have a Safeball for each hand to be able to operate a machine. If one or more pushbuttons are released a stop signal is given to the machine.

                    Three-position devices (or hold-to-run devices) can be used for troubleshooting, programming and test running in situations where no other protection is available or feasible. With a three-position device the operator can either press harder in an emergency or release the device to stop the machine.
