Balluff magnetic coded safety sensors

Balluff is expanding its safety range with magnetic 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.

Due to its non-contact operating principle, the magnetically coded safety switch is unaffected by mechanical play — for example, when doors settle or are imprecisely guided — making it simple to install. With separate processing electronics, the safety switch can be used for applications up to PLe/SIL 3.

The magnetic technology with intelligent arrangement of the reed contacts in the switch housing offers high tampering security and reduces the risk of bypassing the safety function. With the optionally available spacer, users can even install the safety switch in a ferromagnetic environment.
