D40Z Safety Interlock Switch

OmronScientific Technologies Inc.'s D40Z Safety Interlock Switch are non-contact switches that supportISO 13849-1 (Safety Category 4/PLe); and because up to 30 units can beconnected to a single G9SX-NS Controller while still maintaining category 4/PLecompliance, they are a safety solution for middle to large scale deviceapplications. Up to 15 D40Z switches may be combined with the programmable G9SP Safety Controller, enabling these compact IP67-rated units to be used in avariety of high risk multi-door access applications.

TheD40Z is easily mounted from either side of the device with M4 screws. Theswitch features a two-color diagnostic LED display that provides eight differentstatus indications to simplify troubleshooting, and help keep machines up andrunning. Because the 48 x 25 mm D40Z is similar in size to Omron STI's D40Asafety category 3 (EN 954-1) safety switch, OEMs can standardize across machinedesigns, simplifying their bill of materials and speeding machine assemblytimes in the process.

TheD40Z safety interlock switch has a long operating distance of 15 mm. Thisreduces the possibility of nuisance trips due to misalignment or guard doorvibration in harsh environments. A non-magnetic actuator ensures that theunit will not attract troublesome metal shavings, making it a safety interlocksolution in metal cutting and forming applications, and other harsh industrialenvironments.
