Product Overview
The Banner MMD-TA-12B Muting Module is a critical component for enhancing machine safety. It is designed to work with various safeguarding devices, such as safety light screens and safety laser scanners, to automatically suspend safety functions during non-hazardous portions of a machine cycle. This allows for the safe movement of materials or personnel without compromising overall machine safety.
Key Features
- Compact DIN-mounted housing with plug-in terminal blocks.
- Compatible with Output Signal Switching Device (OSSD) outputs and other safety devices.
- Monitors two or four inputs to suspend safety functions.
- Supports Safety (Protective) Stop Interface (SSI) for additional safety devices.
- Configurable for Category 2, 3, or 4 wiring per ISO 13849-1/-2.
- Selectable external device monitoring (EDM) and automatic/monitored manual reset options.
- Provides status indication via LEDs and a two-digit diagnostic display.
Applications
This module is ideal for various industrial applications requiring advanced muting capabilities, including:
- Muting for material feeding and removal in automated processes.
- Integration with safety interlocked gates and guards.
