Schmersal Protect PSC1 compact safety controllers

The Schmersal Protect PSC1 range of compact safety controllers offer a flexible and efficient design interface, enabling users to tailor-make safety related solutions with simple and reduced setup times and options.

The PSC1 is freely programmable, with IO extension modules for signal processing of mechanical and electronic safety switchgear — including the ability to generate schematic wiring diagrams automatically when the controller is programmed. The range is equipped with a universal communication interface and only requires one hardware element to create a connection to most common forms of fieldbus systems.

Installation is quick due to a TÜV certified safe Ethernet network and is suitable for distributing I/O to minimise the complexity and time required to wire the system. An option to integrate the SD bus gateway allows for additional non-secure diagnostic signals from connected sensors to be transmitted via a standard bus system to an automation control system. Signals can be evaluated to prevent downtime and increase plant availability and efficiency.
