April 11 2016- Schmersal introduced the PROTECT SRB-E series, a range of multifunctional, configurable, electronic safety controllers. The series features PNP outputs and can be used to monitor most safeguarding switches such as electromechanical switches, safety light curtains, electronic safety sensors, and coded-magnet sensors.

Each module can be adjusted to one of 11 preset configurations which include selecting the type of reset, activating or deactivating cross-wire monitoring, and selecting the monitored contact configuration. Once changed to the desired setting, the dial is protected from further adjustment by a transparent front cover which can be secured.
