Safety Motor Control

Our Safety Motor Control products help reduce the risks associated with the operation and maintenance of electrical equipment. The CENTERLINE® ArcShield™ Arc-Resistant controller, and CENTERLINE 2500 and 2100 with ArcShield Motor Control Centers, provide rugged process control for applications requiring a higher level of personnel protection. Our ArmorStart® safety line of distributed motor controllers achieves Category 4 safety functionality while providing a safety solution integrated into your DeviceNet™ On-Machine™ safety installation. Our IEC safety contactors and control relays help protect personnel from unintended machine starts and loss of the safety function. The ElectroGuard® Safety Isolation system simplifies operator lockout/tagout procedures to help improve compliance and productivity.

ArcShield Arc-Resistant Control

Bulletin 1500 Medium Voltage Motor Controllers with ArcShield Arc-Resistant Control

CENTERLINE® ArcShield™ Arc-Resistant controller provides rugged process control for applications requiring a higher level of personnel protection. ArcShield products are compliant to IEEE C37.20.7 standard and provide Type 2B protection. During an arc flash, the ArcShield controller safely redirects the arc flash energy out the top of the unit and away from personnel. This level of protection is also maintained when the low voltage door is open for maintenance purposes.

 

ArmorStart Motor Controllers

Bulletin 280/281 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers

Bulletin 280/281 ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controllers offer a simple, cost-effective method of integrating combinations starters, I/O and network capabilities in your on-machine architecture. The product line includes both full-voltage and reversing starters, as well as a safety version that provides a solution for DeviceNet™ safety installations. ArmorStart with EtherNet/IP™ offers the advantages of distributed motor control, EtherNet/IP communication, and Embedded Switch Technology.

 

ArmorStart Motor Controllers with SMC

Bulletin 283 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers with SMC Technology

Bulletin 283 ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controllers are integrated, pre-engineered starters for solid-state motor control applications. Our ArmorStart controllers offer a robust IP 67/ Nema Type 4 enclosure design, which is suitable for water wash down environments. The modular 'plug and play' design offers simplicity in wiring the installation. The quick disconnects for the I/O, communications and motor connection reduces the wiring time and eliminates wiring errors. The safety version of the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller provides a solution integrated into DeviceNet safety installations.

ArmorStart Motor Controllers with VFD

Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller with Variable-Frequency AC Drive

Bulletin 284 ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controllers with AC Drive are a cost-effective, simple solution to your on-machine architecture. These controllers use quick disconnects for I/O, communications, motor, three-phase and control power while offering several communication options. The safety version of the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller provides a solution integrated into EtherNet/IP™ and DeviceNet™ safety installations.

IEC CENTERLINE 2500 MCC with ArcShield

IEC CENTERLINE 2500 Low Voltage MCC with ArcShield

CENTERLINE® 2500 Motor Control Centers (MCCs) with ArcShield™ help protect your personnel and assemblies against harmful arc flash hazards in the event of an arc flash within an MCC. In combination with the standard safety features built into every CENTERLINE 2500 MCC, ArcShield gives you an additional level of safety.

NEMA CENTERLINE 2100 MCC with ArcShield

NEMA CENTERLINE 2100 Low Voltage MCC with ArcShield

CENTERLINE® 2100 Motor Control Center (MCC) with ArcShield™ is an enhanced version of the industry leading CENTERLINE 2100 MCC and the first low-voltage NEMA MCC to offer arc-resistant features. Arc resistant baffles for the CENTERLINE 2100 MCCs with ArcShield let you have an arc-resistant MCC with a wider range of MCC units—even units that require venting, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs). Arc-resistant baffles allow airflow to help dissipate the heat and still provide Type 2 accessibility. CENTERLINE 2100 MCCs with ArcShield are available on the quick delivery program which lets your order to go directly to the factory and ship in as little as four weeks.

Safety Contactors

IEC Safety Contactors

Bulletin 100S/104S IEC Safety Contactors and 700S Safety Control Relays provide mechanically linked, positively-guided contacts up to 85 A which are required in feedback circuits for modern safety applications. 100S-D Safety Contactors provide safe isolation of hazardous motion loads, using mirror contact performance. Mirror contacts provide reliable indication about the open or closed status of the main power poles.
