Door Monitoring in an Explosive Environment
Challenge
To provide door guarding in an explosive environment, using fiber optic switches.
Solution
When the door to the guarded area opens, a break in the fiber optic beam stops the hazardous motion of a machine. Fiber optics are suitable for explosive environments, because their energy is limited and the controller is away from the hazardous area.
