Product description
3.1 Safety switch of the IN4000 Direct
product family
The safety switch has a square housing with a sensing
face that can be aligned. The classification as per
EN 60 947-5-2 depends on the mounting method (see
Tab. 5 on page 166).
3.2 Features and principle of
operation
The safety switches of the IN4000 Direct product
family are typically used for safe position detection. The
sensor detects the presence or absence of metal. To
address requirements to prevent simple tampering, the
switching range of the sensor is monitored spatially
and over time.
Using LEDs the status can be read directly on the sen-
sor. Errors, for example a short circuit or cable break
are detected by the sensor's self-monitoring.
The safety switch can be connected directly to a safe
PLC or another safe evaluation unit.
