Balluff transponder coded safety sensors

Balluff is expanding its safety range with transponder coded safety sensors. They are connected directly to the safe Balluff IO-Link I/O module or to any safety controller using standard M12 connectors.

The transponder coded safety sensor is suitable for monitoring guard doors and flaps. Since the passive RFID transponder is uniquely identified by the sensor, high coding levels and accordingly high bypass protection can be implemented. The generous detection range of the sensor also makes it insensitive to vibration and mechanical play on the protection device, and the detection range simplifies installation.

The compact size offers users greater flexibility in integrating the device into the application. The devices can be used in applications up to PLe and SIL 3 due to the integrated safety logic and the OSSD output stage.
