Fluidsentry Features
Mode Selection Using a Key-Operated Switch
Front-Facing Head Module (Compatible with Self-Closing Door)
Escape Release Functionality
Guard Locking
Monitored and Controlled Access
Interlock monitoring to detect guard opening. Interlocks can also include a solenoid controlled locking functionality for guard locking or locking for the protection of process.
LED Indicators
Status identification via LEDs, to be used with safety relay and/or safety PLC control systems.
Mounting Plates and Connectors
Devices can be pre-fitted on mounting plates, reducing installation time and costs. Multiple connector configurations are available with the respective mating cables in different lengths.
Heads and Actuators
A variety of actuators for hinged and sliding guards. Market leading misalignment capabilities to cope with guards’ movement and variability in machine guarding installation.
Monitored and Controlled Access
Interlock monitoring to detect guard opening. Interlocks can also include a solenoid controlled locking functionality for guard locking or locking for the protection of process.
Feature
Network Connectivity with proNet
Enabling Communication with Industrial Network Protocols. A proNet option pod can be configured as part of an amGardpro interlock, but also as standalone control station and connected to external devices.
Installation and validation can be performed at reduced time and cost compared to hardwired connections.
Feature
Managing Permissions over Industrial Networks
Fortress has developed Fortress RFID Access Network Keys (FRANK). Using the employees’ existing RFID cards, the FRANK system allows the assignment of employee permissions, which can then be used to enforce conditions for machine operation or access.
Designed to work with proNet devices, FRANK can be integrated into automation systems using network protocols to manage access control permissions.
Feature
RFID Safety Keys (RSK)
The RFID Safety Key (RSK) pod provides proactive inhibit functions using high level coded RFID keys, protecting operators from unexpected start-up.
RSK pods can be used as standalone key stations or integrated within an amGardpro interlock. In the event of a lost key, replacement keys can be easily programmed to the device using a “teach” key.
