Exploring DOLD’s Essential Modules: From Delay to Safety Monitoring
DOLD – BG 7925 and LG 7928 delay modules are designed to introduce precise timing delays in industrial processes. These modules are vital in applications requiring controlled sequencing, such as motor startups or emergency stops. By allowing a preset delay before triggering connected devices, these modules help prevent mechanical stress and enhance system longevity, ensuring operations run smoothly without sudden interruptions.
Emergency stops are a critical component in any industrial safety system, and DOLD offers a range of options. The BH 5928 and LG 5925 provide reliable emergency stop capabilities that can immediately halt machinery in case of danger. These modules ensure that operators can quickly intervene when safety is compromised. Paired with the UF 6925 emergency stop module, DOLD’s solutions offer comprehensive protection, whether for individual machines or complex systems.
Wireless control offers flexibility and ease in industrial environments. The BI 5910, RE 6910, and UH 6900 modules bring radio-controlled safety to the forefront. Designed for remote control applications, these modules can activate safety mechanisms without direct contact, making them ideal for hazardous environments. DOLD’s radio-controlled systems ensure safety across long distances while maintaining precise control over critical functions.
For smooth operation across complex systems, the HL 3096N and HC 3096N interface modules enable seamless communication between different control elements. These modules act as bridges, ensuring that different systems can work together without error. Whether it’s signal conversion or galvanic isolation, DOLD’s interface modules help industrial processes stay connected and efficient.
DOLD’s LH 5946 standstill monitor and UH 5947 speed and standstill monitor ensure that critical equipment operates within safe parameters. Monitoring key metrics such as speed, standstill, and frequency, these devices provide real-time feedback and prevent potential accidents. The UH 6937 goes a step further by tracking both speed and frequency, making it indispensable for processes requiring strict regulation of rotational equipment.
Versatility meets safety with the UG 6970 multifunctional safety module. This device is designed for varied safety tasks in industrial environments, such as monitoring different safety inputs and triggering appropriate outputs. Additionally, the RE 6909 three-stage enabling switch ensures operator safety by requiring intentional activation. Whether during setup or emergency situations, these modules provide essential control to keep operations secure.
Industry Applications
Automotive Manufacturing: DOLD’s delay modules and emergency stop systems play a critical role in automotive manufacturing. The delay modules are designed to ensure precise timing in operations, such as coordinating the start and stop sequences of machinery, which is crucial for maintaining smooth and efficient production lines. Emergency stop systems are integrated into high-speed assembly lines to provide immediate response capabilities, quickly halting machinery to protect workers from potential accidents or malfunctions. This combination of timing precision and rapid response contributes significantly to maintaining safety and operational efficiency in automotive manufacturing environments.
