Electronic access control
23 March 2017
Expert in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), EAO offers a wide range of high-specification functions for machine operation with its Series 45.
Thanks to innovative RFID technology and aesthetic design, EAO's new Series 45 ID keylock switches are ideal for implementing electronic access control systems in industrial environments with ease. The switches offer a low profile design to match other functions in the Series 45 range.
The intuitive actuators can authenticate up to four users or groups. The pre-programmed ID keys can each enable one digital output. All the user needs to do is insert their blue, red, yellow or green ID key – corresponding to his authorisation level – and this provides them with the pre-defined functions of the four 45° switching positions. The key can be pulled out at any time, which will disable the function immediately.
The plastic coating of the ID keylock switches and the ID keys provide the units with IP65 protection, making them ideal even for harsh environments with operating temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C and an operating voltage of 24 VDC. The aesthetically appealing, modular design also makes the ID keylock switches particularly attractive. Thanks to the anti-rotation device and the innovative snap-on design, they can be quickly mounted without special tools.
