Multifunction safety controller

Schmersal’s PROTECT-SELECT multifunction safety controller will help you ensure a high level of worker’s safety when working with machines. At the same time,  it facilitates the implementation of complex safety functions.

Compact and easy to use

When assembling a complex security application, no programming skills are required, as is the case with safety PLCs. Thus e.g. the drop-out delay and debouncing times can be set individually and numerous parameters such as cross-circuit monitoring can be configured according to the requirements.

The PROTECT-SELECT multifunction safety controller has four preset programs, which can easily be selected by pressing the SELECT button. Also, each program can easily be adapted to the respective application via menu navigation and cleartext messages.

Compact and safe

Compactness means that PROTECT SELECT in a 52 mm housing can replace up to 6 safety modules with protection level up to PL, SIL3.

There are 18 digital safety inputs to control all common safety sensors e.g. emergency stop command devices, position switches, solenoid interlocks
with and without interlocking function and magnetic safety switches. There are also 4 safety transistor outputs and 2 safety relay outputs.

There are also 4 optional signal outputs and 2 safety analog inputs that allow control of critical process variables (temperature, pressure, flow, etc.).

Choose from 4 preset programs
