May 23, 2010 — TURCK introduces an AS-interface (AS-i) speed monitor that monitors safety speeds and stop conditions on up to two axes. The speed monitor is part of the large range of AS-i safety products distributed by TURCK in the United States. The speed monitor may be efficiently programmed using a configuration push-button or by using AS-i control tools. When the speed falls below the designated threshold, the device sends a signal to AS-i. The monitor also employs an integrated chip card to record all programmed parameters.
With this feature, the device does not require reprogramming to regain access to the machine after a controlled stop. TURCK is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity, network and interface products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
