MC-S
Omron MC-S Series is a tamper resistant non-contact switch that operates with its own control unit. As a fully monitored dual channel system, a single MC-S Series switch and MC-S Series Control Units 1 or 2 combine to fulfill Category 3 requirements. Control Unit 6 with 2 to 6 MC-S switches fulfills Category 4 requirements for the 3 N/O outputs and Category 3 for the N/O delayed output. The Control Units provide EDM (External Device Monitoring, also called MPCE monitoring) with an automatic or manual reset. This allows the Control Units to replace a safety relay in some applications. The NEMA 6 encapsulated design makes it ideal for harsh environments. The Control Units can be used with a large number of MC-S switches for applications with multiple guard doors. The Control Unit provides individual monitoring and LED indication for up to six MC-S switches. Mechanical switches and MC-S switches may be used together with a single MC-S Control Unit for applications requiring both non-contact and mechanical safety interlock switches.
