Let's take a look at all those benefits in a bit more depth;
Customisable
Choice of Protocols, connectors, machine control devices and colours, sliding and rotary handle, actuator options, mounting plates and rear release.
Robust Construction
The housing is available in robust red painted die-cast or mirror polished 316 stainless steel capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.
Low-cost Maintenance
Lid, pilot devices and RFID coded tongue are all replaceable, if damaged; no need to replace the entire unit.
High Level of Safety
The guard interlocking, lock monitoring and e-stop safety functions each achieve up to Cat. 4 / PL e and SIL 3, in accordance with ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061 and IEC 61508.
Easy to Install
The UGB-NET is ready to install straight out of the box with mounting plates, external fixing points and accessible DIP switches. There is no need to open the product during installation.
Industrial Ethernet
Comprehensive diagnostics and standardised connections make installation or device replacement quick and simple, reducing overall commissioning time and cost.
RFID Coding and Lock Monitoring (holding force)
RFID-coded tongue with 2 entry points and robust cam mechanism combines high coding acc. ISO 14119 with the long-term reliability of robust mechanical interlocking up to 3000N.
Daisy Chain/Simple Connections
Redundant ethernet and power connections allow the UGB-NET to be used in a daisy chain or ring network to simplify wiring and taking advantage of MPR/DLR technologies to reduce downtime.
Expandable
An extension module can be added to provide up to 4 additional pilot devices and 4 M12 plugs for connecting field devices to your network. This can include light curtains, beacons, safety switches, emergency stops, enabling pendants, plus much more.
