A modular Emergency Stop (E-stop)
is the latest addition to Fortress
Interlock's eGard range of access and
control products. The E-stop module
can simply be combined with any
controls, switches and/or interlocks of
the eGard range, such as single LEDs,
pushbuttons and key switches.
The E-stop can also be used with AS-i systems. Connection to an AS-i monitor means that programming complex functions can be completed through a single monitor and the system cannot be modified without security passwords.
eGard is suitable for use in high risk applications up to SIL3 (EN/IEC 62061), Category 4 and PLe (EN/ISO 13849-1).
