Safety sensor with RFID technology

The new RSS260 safety sensor from Schmersal combines the detection principles of RFID technology into a compact package and attains a high sensing distance. As well as the standard actuator that is suited for mounting on aluminum profile systems, other actuator packages are also available: a compact, square target and a long, flat actuator that is suitable for fitting to plexiglass protective doors.

The safety sensors developed by Schmersal based on RFID permit the individual coding of each actuator that goes from the acceptance of any suitable target to the individual acceptance of a learned target when first switched on. There is also the option of connecting multiple safety sensors in series and evaluating them with just one safety module.
