SIMPLY SAFE: THE NEW FLEXFUNCTION CKS2 SAFE KEY SYSTEM

As a lockout system, authorization system or trapped key system, the CKS2 is the right choice wherever dangerous machine movements must be safely started or stopped independently of the existing safeguards. Integrated evaluation electronics in the key adapter station provides a compact system that guarantees maximum safety for users through the use of highly coded RFID keys.

One device – many functions thanks to FlexFunction

The new FlexFunction feature is the key to this great versatility. It couldn’t be simpler to use: users define the application for the system when setting it up for the first time. They then select the suitable RFID key to activate exactly the device functions they need. Parameter assignment takes place when the key is taught-in for the first time. This leaves the key adapter with only one safety function to perform: safely detecting the key. Once the key is recognized as valid, the safety outputs are switched on. One key can also be assigned to multiple key adapters of different installations. Connecting to IO-Link is also possible using the appropriate Euchner gateway. This can provide comprehensive diagnostic and communication functions, such as identifying the key that was used to operate the installation. With its diverse application options, the CKS2 FlexFunction device provides additional benefits in terms of warehousing and procurement as well.
