DURING THE SEPTEMBER quarter Rockwell Automation released its new Allen-Bradley Guardmaster MSR67P speed monitoring safety relay. The first of its kind on the market, this unit provides a complete solution to monitoring all motion for small to mid-size machines and, in the process, establishing appropriate safety control. The tool effectively combines the functionality of a speed sensing module with a configurable safety controller. According to Rockwell Automation, the MSR57P is ideal for safety applications where access is required to guarded areas, places that are subjected to defined and controlled conditions, or when a machine is still running.
