IDEC Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, is launching the FS1B Safety Controller — an upgrade of the popular FS1A. It lets designers create streamlined machine safety systems with multiple safety channels by using any of 24 preset safety logic strategies selected with DIP switch configuration. Each of these are certified on this device by a trusted independent body to ensure proper and reliable performance. Standard safety circuit designs often use many safety relays to accommodate multiple inputs from emergency stop (E-stop) buttons, light curtains, and other safety devices to provide a safety interlocking output for de-energizing associated equipment. The FS1B consolidates the functionality usually associated with these into a compact, standalone form factor.
