Safety interlocks use ASIsafe for signals and power

Thanks to the integration of ASIsafe and power requirements of less than 170 milliamps, contact monitoring and control of the locking magnet are handled exclusively via the ASI data cable.

An optional status LED enables simple on-site diagnostics. The positioning switch is suitable for all requirements and is also available in a variety of different unlocking versions, such as unlocking and emergency unlocking.
