The system features a number of new variants with optional control elements such as pushbuttons, key switches, illuminated buttons, section stop, emergency stop, or escape release.

This system helps save time and money. Evaluation devices and expansion modules are unnecessary. Integrated control elements and series connection capabilities reduce installation and wiring. A diagnostic function provides safety alerts to protect personnel and plant: PL e of EN ISO 13849-1 / SIL CL 3 of EN/IEC 62061 protection (the highest category protection) with just one switch per safety gate.

When combined with Pilz control technology, the safety gate system provides complete protection.
