Quick-Disconnect Solutions for Safety Components
Allen-Bradley Safety Connection Systems are complete wiring solutions dedicated to machine safety. These connector-based systems consist of safety wired T-ports and distribution boxes as well as patchcords and shorting plugs. Specifically intended for use with dry-contact safety switches, safety connection systems provide flexible and reliable connections between safety interlock switches, E-stops, cable pull switches and safety relays. While this system is ideal for use with these components, it is not suitable for use with light curtains, safety mats or pressure sensitive safety edges.
Allen-Bradley Safety Connection Systems are designed to:
- Reduce installation cost
- Ease system expansion
- Simplify troubleshooting
- Promote system modularity
- Provide for safety PLC input expansion
- Support systems up to Category 3 (per EN954-1)
Although Allen-Bradley Safety Connection Systems are based on quick-disconnect technology, the associated safety components are not limited to those with built-in connectors. A variety of alternate methods can be employed to interface safety switches to the system.
