round up CONTROL SYSTEMS + AUTOMATION
Efficient solution for simple safety tasks
Easy configuration of the Leuze RSL Series
safety laser scanner via Bluetooth and Eth-
ernet TCP/IP makes this device easy to set
up and use. Further, despite the large num-
ber of possible field pairs – up to 100 – it
is simple to create independent configura-
tions with its application oriented one-step
configuration.
Available from leading sensing solu-
tions specialist Countapulse Controls, the
Leuze RSL safety laser scanner offers 16
device versions with operating ranges of
up to 8,25 metres.The large scanning angle
of 270 degrees is especially advantageous
as this facilitates mounting on corners or
edges to allow for front and side guarding.
Significantly, depending on the actual appli-
cation, it is possible to replace a second la-
ser scanner with this single device. The de-
vice features two completely autonomous
protective functions, and has two pairs of
safety switching outputs making it ideal for
safeguarding and access guarding applica-
tions with separate machine parts.
Basic functions such as automatic start/
restart, start/restart interlock (RES), con-
tactor monitoring (EDM) can be selected.
Optimum handling is ensured by means
of separate intelligent connection unit and
a large, plain-text display with integrated
electronic spirit level.
Countapulse Controls offers access to
technical support and information, as well
as to its comprehensive range of sensing,
measurement, counting, switching, mon-
itoring and positioning instrumentation.
Customer support is available 24/7 through
its technical advisory service hotline.

Decentralised display
pre-processing and conversion
of analogue signals
The compact connector unit is simply inserted in the
connection cable of analogue sensors (4...20 mA). It
displays the measured values locally. The user can
set a switch point or limit at which the transistor
output switches. A colour change (red/green) of the
display indicates this unmistakably. Critical process
states or operational problems are reliably signalled.
A special feature is the signal conversion: The
threshold display converts analogue signals to digital
IO-Link signals. Today they are required in almost any
modern industrial environment and for Industry 4.0
applications. Some applications include: Compressed
air meter for recording energy consumption of
suction grippers; Monitoring of the system pressure
in the coke oven machine; monitoring of hydraulic
power units; invoicing of industrial water and many
more.
