Expanded safety portfolio
27 June 2017
Balluff is expanding its safety portfolio with magnetic, transponder and inductive safety sensors. They are connected directly to the safety Balluff IO-Link I/O module or to any safety controller using standard M12 connectors.

Balluff's non-contact, magnetically coded safety switch is unaffected by mechanical play. With separate processing electronics, the safety switch can be used for applications up to PLe/SIL 3.
The transponder coded safety sensor is ideal for monitoring guard doors. The passive RFID transponder is uniquely identified by the sensor, high coding levels and accordingly high bypass protection can be implemented.
Balluff's inductive safety sensor detects the approach of metallic targets. Unlike traditional safety switches it requires no special mating part. This means it can generate safe signals for position and end-of-travel or directly sense metallic workpiece carriers.
