Fortress


Adds Industrial Ethernet Communications to its Interlocks


I


ndustrial safety specialist Fortress Interlocks has added industrial Ethernet communications to its amGardpro range of safety interlocks. The new proNET communications module, which uses the PROFINET protocol and its extension PROFIsafe, integrates easily into the amGardpro range. This enables the amGardpro’s features to be distributed IO (input-output) on a PROFINET network, with safety information exchanged using PROFIsafe extensions.


Added benefits include reduced


installation costs, easier maintenance and greater availability of data for improved diagnosis. Most safety interlocks are either not electrically connected (deliberately so in the case of some mechanical, trapped key interlocks) or are ‘wired at gate’, meaning all electrical connections go via a control PLC and safety relay. The proNET module overcomes this by taking advantage of PROFINET and PROFIsafe.
