Power Over Ethernet Interlock

Power over Ethernet (PoE) combines data and power into one single connector, reducing cabling, set up complexity, and associated hardware costs. Power to the device is passed alongside data on twisted pair Ethernet cabling.

This highly efficient method of power is available for our range of amGardpro CIP Safety and PROFIsafe Devices, which include fully customisable control units, interlocks and safety gate switches.

Networked access & control devices have never been easier, cheaper or quicker to install.

Why Choose Power over EtherNet?

✅ Save costs by halving the number of cables required per device

✅ Greatly reduced installation costs, less trunking or cable conduits

✅ Further reduce costs by reducing the requirement for junction boxes

✅ Extremely fast installation compared to hard-wired units

✅ Single ‘plug and play’ cable for easy fitting and simpler cable runs

✅ Fortress’ quick release cable reduces your likelihood of downtime with much faster replacements

✅ Improved safety with less trip hazards, perfect for dangerous applications

✅ Reduced risk of power related unit damage makes PoE devices more reliable

✅ Highly robust unit designed to withstand harsh, heavy-duty environments to keep personnel safe
