Schneider XCSDMC5915

The Schneider XCSDMC5915 is a state-of-the-art coded magnetic safety interlock designed to enhance the safety of machinery by ensuring that hazardous movements are halted when a safety gate is opened or misaligned. This compact and robust device is part of the Preventa Safety detection range and is engineered to provide reliable monitoring in a variety of industrial settings.

Crafted with a sleek, rectangular design, the XCSDMC5915 measures just 51 x 16 x 7 mm, making it an unobtrusive addition to any safety system. It features a staggered contact operation with 1 Normally Closed (NC) and 1 Normally Open (NO) contact configuration, ensuring flexibility and compatibility with different control systems.

The interlock is equipped with a pre-cabled 5-metre long cable, facilitating straightforward installation without the need for additional wiring. The presence of an integrated LED provides clear local signalling, allowing for at-a-glance monitoring of the switch's status.

With an assured operating distance of 5 mm and a tripping distance of 15 mm, the XCSDMC5915 is designed to respond promptly to gate misalignment, enhancing the safety of personnel. The switch operates with a rated operational voltage of 24 V DC and an insulation voltage of 100 V DC, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

The device is constructed from high-quality plastic with an enclosure made of thermoplastic PBT, ensuring durability and resistance to challenging industrial environments. It boasts an impressive electrical durability of 1,200,000 cycles and can handle switching capacities from 5 to 100 mA.

Safety is paramount with the XCSDMC5915, which can achieve a safety level up to Category 4, Performance Level e, and SIL 3, when used with the appropriate monitoring system and correct wiring, in accordance with EN/ISO 13849-1 and EN/IEC 61508 standards.

The coded magnetic switch is designed to withstand a wide range of operating temperatures, from -25 to 85 °C, and is vibration and shock-resistant, conforming to IEC standards. It also offers a high degree of protection with an IP rating of IP66/IP67, ensuring it is safeguarded against dust and water ingress.

The Schneider XCSDMC5915 is a reliable and essential component for machine safety, offering a blend of advanced safety features, robust construction, and ease of integration into existing safety systems.
