Input Devices

The Curtis ECS module is a flexible, easy to implement, operator identification keypad. It ensures only authorized users have access to the machine guaranteeing safe control and secure operation.

• Integrates easily into any system.
  • For CAN based systems: CANopen implementation with an optionally connected CAN termination resistor. Supports CAN baud rates from 100Kbps to 1 Mbps.
  • For non-CAN based systems: output relay will change state to indicate authorized access.
• Includes one standard RFID tag and two mini RFID tags. Supports ISO 14443A RFID tags.
• Supports up to 100 individual access PINs or RFID codes.
• Provides two pre-configured levels of access, supervisor and user, allowing additional configuration options to the supervisor access level.
• Two LEDs, one green and one red, visualize identification acceptance and errors.
• An included buzzer provides audio feedback of errors or machine conditions to the operator.
• Machine power control through authorized RFID/PIN access or via CAN.
• Auto machine shutdown based on interlock state and configurable timer.
• Pass Through Mode: allows the ECS to act as a pass through device, passing through push button inputs and RFID tag information over the CANbus.
