B&R: Control panels require no hard wiring

B&R’s openSAFETY control panels allow safe data exchange over the bus system with just one cable and simple cabling of swing arm systems; hard wiring of E-stop, operating mode, and start buttons are unnecessary.

openSAFETY control panels are available in a wide range of configurations, allowing them to be tailored to any application. In addition to different display sizes and ratios, it is also possible to choose between various touch technologies. Just as configurable are the number and arrangement of buttons, switches, and the E-stop button. The control panels are also available in housings rated up to IP65. These devices can be customized for clients and specific industries, such as food and beverages.
