Banner PICO-GUARD Fiber Optic System - Four separate optical sensing channels Monitor One Or Multiple Fiber Optic Switches, Point, Grids or Optical Emergency Stop Buttons in the same fiber optic loop.

• Flexible and easy to install, the controller is a low-cost alternative to cumbersome and costly methods required for machine safeguarding.
• Each of the four channels controls multiple inputs, to protect personnel from hazardous equipment and to protect critical tooling or materials in process.
• Controller signals the machine control circuit to stop when the system detects a loss in light signal or receives a safety stop request from its Universal Safety Stop Interface (USSI) input.
• Each channel can control several fiber optic Safety Interlock Switches in the same fiber loop.
• Each channel can monitor a separate part of a machine, such as doors, entry gates and sensors.
