Flexible Safety Monitoring for Industrial Machinery

The ABB RT6 provides configurable monitoring for a broad range of machinery safety devices. Its five selectable input arrangements allow it to supervise single-channel and dual-channel circuits, while appropriate configurations provide monitoring for short circuits and power failures. This versatility enables one relay type to support numerous machine-safety functions.

Automatic or manually supervised reset can be selected according to the application, while the test input enables external positively guided relays and contactors to be incorporated into the monitored safety circuit. The two transistor information outputs indicate input-condition and output-relay status, providing useful diagnostic information without using the primary safety contacts.

Typical Applications

  • Emergency-stop safety circuits.
  • Safety gate, hatch and interlocking switch monitoring.
  • Light curtain and safety light-beam systems.
  • Safety mats and pressure-sensitive contact strips.
  • Hold-to-run and enabling devices.
  • Foot-operated safety control devices.
  • Machine area supervision.
  • Safety output expansion systems.
  • Industrial production machinery and automated equipment.
  • Control panels requiring configurable single- or dual-channel safety monitoring.
