The Universal Safety Controller HUB from Pinnacle Systems replaces multiple individual freestanding safety relay modules into one completely integrated and multi-faceted safety center. The Safety Controller HUB contains a multitude of input wiring provisions for various safety devices that will be incorporated on the machine to be guarded or controlled. The HUB also contains dry contact safety relays and solid-state outputs in one complete, compact control reliable safety controller package. This provides ease of installation, improved safety and economic improvement on both installation and hardware costs.
Typical safety device inputs that can be monitored and controlled by the Safety HUB are: Safety Interlock Switches (all types), Safety Light Curtains, E-stop Switches, Cable Pull Switches, Safety Mats, “Control Reliable” Valves, Muting Systems, operator two hand controls which contain anti-tie down/concurrency logic functions, EDM (External Device Monitoring) and much more.
