Utilised in applications the world over, the electronic ID key-operated switches from the Siemens SIRIUS ACT family of commanding and signalling devices has proven its durability and flexibility compared to conventional solutions over-and-over again.
Customisation Abilities
These high-spec switches feature customisation abilities that allow the user to set authorisation for machine access, represented by 4 separate and individually coloured keys. A built-in RFID chip makes the keys uniquely identifiable ensuring they are used correctly and there is also an optional white key that can be configured to the customers specifications.
If the SIRIUS ACT ID Key is lost the systems remain secure as the key can be blocked and replaced. Individual access levels act as a time stamp to see who has used the HMI, and when a key has been inserted on the PLC side via a monitored output. With two different Starter Kit versions available this allows customers to choose the option that best suits their individual needs.
