Fortress introduces a configurable e-stop

Fortress Interlocks has introduced an emergency stop (e-stop) into its eGard range of safety interlocks that can be configured to connect to a programmable logic controller (PLC) or AS-i network.
The E-stop AS-i enabled has only one flexible cable that clips the E-stop and base connector together for easy installation. Easy connection to an AS-i monitor means that programming complex functions can be completed through a single monitor and, once verified, the system cannot be modified without access passwords as an added security measure.
eGard is a modular system that simply clips together and provides a vast number of options including the addition of stop and start switches, indicator lights or gate switch modules and designed to fit straight on to a standard extruded aluminium machine guarding without the need for additional brackets. Ease of installation of the modules and unit, and an internal network that is self-configuring, provides huge cost savings to the specifier on wiring and installations. All eGard configurations can be easily connected to PLCs and mimic panels, or used on an AS-interface network.
The beauty of eGard is its adaptability; modules and features can constantly be added or removed. Its corrosion resistant body is designed for Category 4, high risk, applications and complies with international standards.
