The new PITmode fusion consists of the PITreader reader unit with RFID technology and integrated web server, and an SEU (Safe Evaluation Unit). Its modular design enables the PITmode fusion to be integrated individually into the design of existing control consoles. Existing pushbuttons can be used, enabling better operation for the user. PITmode devices are used on plant and machinery in which users switch between different control sequences and operating modes. Authorised users have a coded RFID transponder key that provides them with the necessary access rights. t | 01536 460766 e | sales@pilz.co.uk w | www.pilz.co.uk and enter webcode 150439 WES says continuous product improvement has led to the launch of DosingCube E, the latest iteration of its distinctive and highly flexible portable dosing system.
