Emergency stop switch in the area of optical sensors
Regardless of whether it is a machine, vehicle or technical system – an emergency stop switch is always used to avert any danger. If a dangerous situation arises, the emergency stop switch helps to put the respective device into a safe state immediately. The strategies for emergency shutdown can be very different. However, in most cases, and the simplest, operating the switch results in a direct interruption of the power supply.
Emergency stop switch in the area of optical sensors
As a manufacturer of high-quality and innovative technology, MICRONOR offers special sensors that are used where conventional variants fail. For example, MICRONOR sensors are used in areas where work is carried out with very high voltages or with extreme power outputs. This also applies to our emergency stop switches. These are successfully used, for example, in generators, transformers, in railway technology and medicine. But our emergency stop switches also fulfill an important task in wind power plants, in radioactive areas or in heavy industry.
Accidents, some of them very serious, can happen in all these areas. It is not uncommon for these to have devastating consequences. It is all the more important to pay attention to various safety aspects from the outset. In this context, MICRONOR offers various sensors that act as emergency stop switches. Especially when long emergency stop chains have to be installed, MICRONOR offers a solution with the fiber optic emergency stop switches that enables reliable shutdown over several kilometers without signal processing. Emergency stop switches can also be used in series at various locations within this long connection.

MICRONOR offers the high-quality MR387 as an emergency stop switch. This can be used in combination with one of two different controllers. The innovative emergency signal system of the MR387 series can be used individually. They can be controlled with a range of up to 10km from the controller. They can also be used in strong electromagnetic fields. The E-STOP system uses a so-called photo-interrupt scheme. This in turn works via a duplex single mode or a duplex multimode connection between the switch and controller. On the one hand, the MR380-1 Controller DIN is suitable for effective control. This controller is mounted on a DIN rail and connected to the sensors via a duplex multimode fiber optic cable. Alternatively, the MR380-0 Controller OEM is available.
