Safety Mat and Sensing Edge Controller

Pressure sensitive safety mat and sensing edges must be wired into a controller to monitor for actuation and proper functioning. The controller provides the interface with the machine, robot or door controls. When the safety mat or sensing edge controller registers a sensor actuation or fault, a stop or reverse signal is sent to the equipment controls.

Safety mats and sensing edges used in machinery and robot guarding applications are considered category 3 applications, requiring an ESD3 controller. Other controller selections should only be made based on your application risk assessment.
Risk categories are defined in EN 954, Safety of Machinery - Safety Related Parts of Control Systems.
