Bolder, Brighter Indication: New 7-Color K30L & K50L RGB Indicator Lights From Banner

The new K30L2 and K50L2 RGB Indicator Lights from Banner Engineering feature seven colors from just three inputs in one device. Due to a rugged IP69K construction that withstands impact and washdown, they're able to perform reliably in any environment. Their clear and uncomplicated wiring allows for a quick installation and allows for users to consolidate controller outputs.

IO-Link for K50L2 LED Indicators:
IO-Link enables vast custom indication possibilities for K50L2 LED Indicators.

• Full control on color, flashing, and light intensity with the use of multicolor RGB LEDs
• Advanced animation, such as rotation and strobing
• 2-color display with flashing, rotation, and chase
• Simplified wiring - connect using standard unshielded 4-wire cables
• Drop-in installation - an IO-Link master can save configuration data and automatically update new indicators, enabling quick and easy installation or replacement of indicator lights

proNet - Networked Access & Control Devices: The Latest in The Fortress Product Family

Fortress Interlocks is introducing the next big thing in their product family, the proNet family. The proNet modules allow the features of amGardpro to become a distributed IO (input/output) on either an Ethernet IP or a ProfiNet network. Safety information is exchanged using either the CIP Safety or the ProfiSafe protocol.

The modularity of the amGardpro range can incorporate:

• Guard locking
• Escape release
• Safety key technology
• Basic machine control functionality into a single device which can now be connected to both of the leading industrial Ethernet networks

An integrated network switch facilitates ring topology with no additional hardware cost of the system setup. It provides the ability to mix safety devices and standard devices on the same network for seamless integration and increased flexibility. 

Key Benefits of Using Networked Safety Gate Switches:

• Comprehensive diagnostic coverage for internal fault detection
• Maximum safety rating: Category 4/PLe
• The system can be expanded at any point to include additional functionality
• Locking force up to 10,000N - the highest level currently available on the market
• Drastically decreases installation and commissioning time by significantly reducing the wiring of each unit
• Device data can improve preventative maintenance schedules leading to decreases in production downtime
• Remote access enables authorized personnel to potentially diagnose system errors without being on-site
• Devices can be daisy chained to create a ring topology network which enables the network to remain resilient to a single point of a failure
• Due to the ease of setting parameters, the replacement of a device for maintenance purposes can be achieved in minutes
