Schmersal RSS260 safety sensor with RFID technology

The RSS260 safety sensor combines the detection principle of RFID technology and a high switching distance in a compact design.

The actuators allow integration of the safety sensors in the surrounding architecture of removable, hinged and sliding covers and doors. All variants offer tamper resistance as the RFID-based sensor technology permits individual actuator coding.

In the basic version, the sensor accepts any suitable RSS260 family target. A second version for increased tamper resistance only responds to an individually assigned target - the teaching process can be repeated any number of times. The third version available for the highest level of tamper resistance only accepts the target presented at initial power-up.

In addition to the standard actuator, which is suitable for assembly on the normal aluminium profile systems, additional actuator designs can be selected. There is a compact rectangular target and a flat, elongated actuator which is suitable for design-oriented machines and plants as well as for being mounted on polycarbonate safety gates.

The sensor can be connected with up to 31 safety sensors in series which can be evaluated with a single safety module.
