The Programmable and Modular PCU Safety Control Unit from Tapeswitch Corp. bridges the gap in technology between traditional safety relays and PLC systems for safety device integration for machinery builders, rebuilders, and users.
Tapeswitch's strategy is to introduce a machine safety control unit assisting the smaller to mid-sized machinery builder, rebuilder, and user with integrating a fully modular and programmable safety device control unit as a viable and cost effective solution to solve four specific applications in the market, such as upgrading traditional safety relays without incurring the higher costs of a PLC system, providing for a custom safety control unit that is capable of handling multiple safety devices in tandem depending on device selections and configuration, managing programming of logic control functions for those devices, multiple machinery locations and machine safety integration in tandem, and integration of safety devices with existing PLC systems. This PCU/1 main control unit is modular with a total of 14 expansion modules, the system can have up to 128 inputs, 16 dual channel safety outputs, and 16 status outputs to handle your machine safety configurations, devices, and networks.
Tapeswitch also offers an integrated PCU/1 main unit with PCUEU/1 for adding multiple safety devices integration for switches, mats, edges, bumpers, and their fail-safe 4 conductor machine safety products.
Tapeswitch is offering a new PCU safety control units that is a modular series of machine safety control units reportedly making machine safety integration easier and programmable with logic control functions for all your safety devices, such as multiple combinations of mats, edges, bumpers, laser scanners, light curtains, non-contact safety switches, photocells, mechanical switches, emergency stops, two hand controls. The PCU Control Unit is certified up to a CAT 4 SIL CL 3 SIL 3 Ple safety level performance, depending upon the safety device capabilities, system configuration, and installation.
