Control of safety devices

Introduction A modern technology

The AWAX range : 26XXL, 27XXL and 45XXL2

Offering a complete solution, these modules
may control mechanical switches, emergency
stops and the BTI non stand alone switches
with ACOTOM process. These modules can be
supplied with 24Vac and dc or 85~265Vac with
only one input. The user can choose either auto-
matic or manual reset mode by means of a dip-
switch. These modules use our DLC technology
and dispose of 8A 250 Vac or 50Vdc contacts.

The CO13XXL range

Developed especially to control emergency
stops, this module can be supplied with 24Vac/
dc or 85~265 Vac.

Special purpose modules

New digitally based technological process has
been used in order to obtain several extra safety
functions at a really competitive price. Exam-
ples : a safe speed controller (Speedtronic N),
a timing module (Timtronic XXL) with a variator
(Exeltronic XXL) or a two-hands control device
(COM3C) .

Interlocking system
A solution for interlocking consists of a safety
contactor (C4CK), a safety switch of cat. 3 with
a key (AMX5CK) and a locked when un energi-
zed interlocking device. This system can work
independently or by means of the key transfer
between C4CK and AMX5CK. The C4CK module
can be used also to over pass the safety of a
defined area, thanks to the captive key.

The response time of our DLC process provi-

des the safety category 4 even in hard environ-
ments.

 C4TN
Time delay module for the command
of energisation with A : 1 / 22 s
2 ranges of timing B : 0.1 / 2.2 s
This time-delay device is used to timing the start
or the stop of a machine, by integrating two ti-
ming possibilities in a smart 22,5 mm housing
(ISO13849-1, SIL3 and cat4 PLe).

Choice of delaying mode (on operate / on re-

lease)
è 2 safety outputs 8A/250v
è 1 NC auxiliary output
è 1 test loop

It meets the requirements of industries for which

a machine must either, not be instantly activa-
ted, or stopped instantly, like frequency varia- Dimensions
tors. C4TN allows to keep the device energized,
from 1 to 22 secondes. Other applications are
available thanks to the 2 operations modes:

Mode1 : time delaying to operate/start

Mode 2 : time delaying to stop
