World’s fi rst IP69K network-enabled gate access interlock
I
n our ever more connected world, IDEM Safety has responded to the evolving demands of Industry 4.0 by developing a range of intelligent, network-enabled access gate devices, taking machine safety to a whole new level for automation system integrators and machine builders. IDEM’s Universal Gate Box (UGB-NET) combines an RFID-coded sensor, guard interlocking up to 3000N, machine control functions and integrated communication protocols in a robust, heavy-duty housing. Available with a range of mounting plates, handle accessories and rear-escape options, the UGB-NET is suitable for full body gate access applications. Compatible with both Ethernet/IP with CIP safety or PROFINET with PROFIsafe industrial Ethernet protocols, the device is fully approved by cULus and TUV to the latest international safety standards.
The UGB-NET delivers several important advantages:
• It is fully customisable with a choice of
protocol, connectors, machine control devices and colours, sliding and rotary handles, actuator options, rear-escape options and mounting plates.
• It delivers high-level safety, including RFID guard interlocking (Type 4, high coding acc. to ISO 14119), lock monitoring and E-Stop functions – all achieving Cat.4 /PL e and SIL 3 acc. to ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061 and IEC 61508. • Mounting and assembly is easy – mounting plates and all external fi xing points enable quick installation onto the guard. Connections to power and networks are made easy with industry-standard connectors.

• The network address is set at the device
(DIP switch) or remotely via the network. Once connected, the UGB-NET offers access to comprehensive diagnostics via PLC tools or web-server interfaces. • Industrial Ethernet reduces installation and commissioning time: multiple UGB- NET devices can be daisy-chained to reduce wiring and simplify network architecture. The UGB-NET was first developed
in robust die-cast metal painted red, with a polished stainless-steel 316 head. Constructed to achieve IP65 rating, the die- cast switch can operate between -25o 40o
C and C.
Setting the standard in machine safety, IDEM’s R&D team has now developed a version of the device in its signature mirror- polished stainless steel 316. The world’s first network-enabled gate access interlock suitable for IP69K environments, this latest device features double-seal gaskets and 22mm buttons that are protected from water and dust ingress using specialised silicone covers.
IDEM Safety designs and manufactures a vast range of machine-safety products that save lives and improve productivity. From its state-of-the-art production facility in Wigan, UK, each product is designed, engineered and tested with the customer in mind, ensuring long-term reliability for a broad range of industrial applications and extreme machine environments.
