EGS80

Digital limit switch for mobile machines

Reliable digital limit switch for your mobile machines

The EGS80 limit switch enables galvanic isolation of field and control circuits and can also be used as a galvanic isolator in its own right. It is suitable for performing a wide variety of measurements and tests. In combination with force transducers or load cells, it can also be used to monitor force or weight in mobile machines. Your benefits at a glance:

  • Galvanic isolation and line breaks
  • Monitoring of line breaks and short circuits
  • Easy setting of complex functions, either directly on an instrument or via computer software
  • Visualization of measurement values

Product Description

Two- and three-wire transmitters can be connected, as well as active sources with signals from 0/4...20 mA. The input is monitored for line breaks and cable short circuits. Two relays and one active current output with 0/4...20 mA are available as outputs. The current output is freely scalable. A small LC display visualizes measured values. You can choose from 17 different display units that include kg, t, N, bars etc.

The limit switch is operated via the control panel on the front or using computer software, which is available free of charge and enables quick and easy parameterization. A file containing setting parameters can be created, saved and loaded into any type EGS80 limit switch. This results in substantial time savings whenever it’s necessary to feed the same parameters to multiple instruments. An adapter cable is optionally available for connection to a laptop.
