Banner Engineering (Minneapolis, MN) offers Safety Mat Monitor Modules with a universal design for use with any standard, 4-wire safety mat or safety edge that is based on contact plates or strips that short together to cause activation.
A dual-diverse microprocessor-based design meets Safety Category 4 per ISO 13489-1. Module’s sensor circuit monitors the contact plates of the safety mat and consists of bi-polar redundant channels that issue the stop command when the 2 channels are shorted together as an individual steps onto the safety mat.
