Push Button Control Devices –
with CIP safety and PROFIsafe

 

 

Custom-Design Networked Push Button Control

 

“Convenience is at the heart of industrial control design.”

We understand the challenges our customers face procuring, installing, integrating and validating push button controls for industrial automation. This is why we at Fortress have innovated our network technology to design tailored push button control solutions which are unique to our customers’ specific requirements. Most importantly, providing a convenient solution which integrates direct communication to PLC control, and provides control functionality alongside industrial processes to maximise uptime and productivity.

Push Button Control devices are offered with either PROFINET or EtherNet/IP protocols for non-safe communication and with PROFIsafe and CIP safety available for safety applications.

Networked operator controls can be designed with any combination of control elements such as buttons, lamps, emergency stops, or RFID with up to 40 non-safe I/O.

 

 

Control components can be custom engraved at no additional cost for instant identification of functionality.

 

 

 

Integrate External I/O to safe or non-safe devices such as
 light curtains, enabling switches, interlocks or sensors among many more
with up to Three Dual-Channel Safety Inputs.

Select from a variety of connector set options tailored to your:

                                        • power supply;

                                        • data communication;
