Safety and reliability are essential wherever vehicle bodies or attachments must be moved and controlled automatically. EAO’s new Premium version of its Series 09 rugged keypads offer an intelligent, functionally safe solution for demanding tasks.

Developed to meet the highest safety standards, the Premium version complies with DIN EN ISO 13849. It achieves Performance Level D (PLd), certified by Dekra Testing and Certification, which means it is ideal for safety-critical applications that require reliability and durability.

Equipped with the CANopen Safety protocol, the keypad supports error detection, correction and communication redundancy, significantly enhancing overall system safety. The protocol also provides the benefits of standard CANopen: real-time capability, flexibility, scalability and easy integration.

The robust, low-maintenance design ensures long service life and minimal downtime. An integrated safety architecture helps prevent errors, ensuring smooth operation while reducing risks to operators and manufacturers.

By using functionally safe components, customers also benefit from reduced development and certification costs, leading to faster time-to-market and long-term cost savings.
