Modular, configurable and safe
The new modular and configurable SAFEMASTER PRO safety system from DOLD monitors all safety circuits of your machines and equipment. The number of inputs and outputs of the main control unit can be expanded at any time using expansion modules. This allows the system to be adapted optimally to individual applications. SAFEMASTER PRO fulfils all safety requirements up to PL e / Cat 4 or SIL CL3 and is TÜV certified.
The main control unit, with an installed width of just 22.5 mm, has 8 safe inputs, 2 safe two-channel outputs and 4 test outputs and can be used as a stand-alone module. Up to seven expansion modules can be connected to the main control unit, giving the SAFEMASTER PRO a total of 72 safe inputs and 8 safety-oriented two-channel semiconductor outputs in the maximum configuration.The safety system monitors safety functions such as emergency stop, guard doors, light barriers, two-hand controls and much more. The TÜV-certified system is configured using the free SAFEMASTER PRO Designer software. This software features an intuitive user interface and enables easy, low-cost module configuration using drag & drop. Memory card support simplifies transferring configuration data to other systems. This allows users to implement a wide variety of automation tasks with a single safety system, ranging from very simple machines to networked equipment and highly complex systems.
