Abstract: A safety gate monitoring module for monitoring a state of a safety gate includes an actuator receptacle. The actuator receptacle receives an actuator and is configured to produce a safety gate signal when the actuator is inserted into the actuator receptacle. The actuator receptacle includes a guard lock device that is configured to hold the actuator firmly in the actuator receptacle in an activated state. The guard lock device includes a bolt having a bearing element receptacle and a bearing element rotatably mounted in the bearing element receptacle and arranged at a free end of the bolt. The free end of the bolt engages with the actuator in order to lock the actuator in the actuator receptacle in the activated state.

Abstract: A safety gate monitoring module is configured to monitor a state of a safety gate. A base device includes an actuator receptacle configured to receive an actuator and generates the safety gate signal in response to the actuator being inserted into the actuator receptacle. The base device includes a first interface, an axis, and a first end face arranged transversely to the axis. A mounting bracket includes a second interface configured to be coupled to the first interface of the base device in a first position, a second position rotated clockwise by 90° with respect to the first position, and a third position rotated clockwise by 90° with respect to the second position. The first and second interfaces include a mechanical blocking device that prevents coupling of the first and second interfaces in a fourth position rotated clockwise by 90° with respect to the third position.

Abstract: A safety switch includes a movably mounted locking bolt configured to lock an actuator in a defined locking position relative to the safety switch. The safety switch includes a movably mounted locking bulkhead movable between a first position and a second position. The locking bulkhead is configured to fix the movably mounted locking bolt in the second position via a positive fit.

Abstract: A securing apparatus for mechanically securing at least one connecting plug to a housing is provided, where the securing apparatus contains (a) a bow-like shaped base body, where the body can slide laterally onto the housing, and be fixed to the housing, (b) at least one receiving section, which is formed on the base body and which is designed for receiving the connecting plug, and (c) a plurality of strip-shaped, tightenable securing devices, which are capable of securing the connecting plug to the base body and/or the base body to the housing.

Abstract: A guard door monitoring system comprising a guard door monitoring module for monitoring a state of a guard door to a safety area. The guard door monitoring system also comprises a control unit, configured to analyze a guard door signal generated by interaction between an actuator and a sensor, and to control a machine or system located in the safety area depending on the guard door signal. A locking device with a main body and a locking lever arranged on the main body is additionally provided. The locking lever can be moved relative to the main body from a release position into a blocking position in which the locking lever prevents the interaction between the actuator and the sensor, wherein the locking device comprises a receptacle for a lockable securing part, which, when introduced into the receptacle, keeps the locking lever in the blocking position.

Abstract: Safety mat for safeguarding an electrically driven installation, comprising a sensor, a rigid supporting body and an evaluation unit. The supporting body has a top side, a rear side and first and second side faces, adjoining the top and rear sides. The sensor has an active surface covering the top side of the supporting body. The rear side has an opening for contacting an evaluation unit arranged in the interior of the supporting body that is configured to provide an output signal depending on the actuation of the sensor. The first side face has a first cavity and the second side face has a second cavity. The rear side has a first and a second cable guide. The first cable guide connects the opening to the first cavity and the second cable guide connects the opening to the second cavity.

Abstract: An operator cabinet has a wall having a front side, a rear side and a cutout defined by an inner edge. An operator terminal is installed in the cutout and has a frame surrounding a display for displaying at least one system state of a technical system. The outer frame edge is dimensioned so as to be larger than the inner edge of the cutout, with the result that, when installed, the frame can rest on the front side of the wall. A plate having an outer plate edge is dimensioned so as to be larger than the inner edge of the cutout with the result that, when installed, the plate can rest on the rear side of the wall. A plurality of bolts are secured at one end on the frame and extend, when installed, through the cutout and then through corresponding holes in the plate.

Abstract: A data storage medium has a carrier element configured to carry a memory element. The memory element stores data for configuring or even programming a safety controller. The data storage medium has at least one mounting element which is able to move relative to the carrier elements such that it is able to interact with a holding unit arranged on the safety controller. As a result, the data storage medium can be easily and removably be connected to the safety controller.
