Safety + security
October 1st 2007 The EKS (Electronic Key
System) from Euchner has
been further developed to
incorporate FSA (For Safety
Applications). The company
says this ensures all aspects
of safety and security can be
accommodated, where
access is required to
machine functions or even
complex production
processing installations.
All data required for
access authorisation to any
workstation area is stored on
a chip embedded within the
personalised EKS key fob.
Every key is different and
can be set-up and matched
for single person use. The
freely writable memory of
the key allows for additional
data to be stored. It is also
possible to allow access to
different machines and
installations with a single
key by loading several access
rights to it.
Personalised access
authorisation can be used to
enable safety-relevant
functions on a machine. More articles from Euchner (UK) Limited: |
