The first steute product to use the wireless system is a safety footswitch which will typically used to allow settings to be made safely on machines with opened guards. As long as the operator is actuating the switch, the machine can be operated in setting mode. The absence of trailing cables from the footswitch enhances safety.
The footswitches can also be used for robotic applications and for machines with large movable parts, such as presses.
The new wireless system meets the requirements of PL d and SIL 3.
