Norstat now offers the MOSAIC M1S COM, a master unit safety controller that is a field bus ready and able to manage a wide variety of safety sensor signals all while being configurable via its MSD graphic interface.
The MOSAIC M1S COM is truly a multi-functional field bus ready master unit as it is able to manage multiple safety sensors and devices including electromechanical switches, e-stops, safety mats and edges as well as electromechanical switches and two hand controls. The M1S COM can be used as a stand alone unit or used to control other expansion units. By utilizing this type of safety controller, you can lower the number of electromechanical components used which means a higher level of performance and since the M1S COM allows for tamper proof configurations it also achieves a higher level of safety.
The MOSAIC M1S COM has 8 digital inputs, up to 4 inputs for start/restart interlock and EDM. It also has 4 single ( 2 pairs ) OSSD safety outputs, 4 status outputs and 4 test outputs for short circuit monitoring. It accepts Ethernet IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET and Modbus TCP protocols. Protection rating is IP 20 for housing and IP 2X for terminal blocks and can operate in temperature ranges of -20°C to +85°C.
