The CTM transponder-coded guard locking device provides process and personnel protection in the smallest of spaces. At only 120 x 36 x 25 mm in size, the switch is especially
easy to integrate into the machine design. The innovative ball actuator supported on an elastomer
bearing can secure doors with extremely small pivoting radii. The CTM guarantees the
highest degree of protection IP69 and is available as a hygienic version. Thanks to its diff erent
product variants and interfaces, the CTM off ers the right solution for every user and is well-suited
to Industry 4.0 applications. The new device features many benefi ts that make it ideal for a
wide range of industries, including tool and packaging machinery, pharmaceutical and food, and
plastics processing.

Diagnostic Data via IO-Link with the New GWY Gateway

We now have yet another solution for connecting safety switches for communication at Industry
4.0 level thanks to the new IO-Link GWY Gateway. The 12.5 mm wide slimline GWY Gateway is an
IO-Link device that can read relevant sensor and device data from intelligent safety switches
– such as the compact CTM guard locking device and the CES-C07 interlocking device – and can
transfer this data to the higher-level control system via IO-Link. The data includes information
relating to the system state, acyclic data such as the ambient conditions, and device data such
as sensor type and version number. The wiring work is minimal.
