tGard is a versatile range of interlocks and control stations. tGard can accommodate up to ten modules, including trapped keys and operator controls. Each unit is housed in a robust 40mm metal body, making them suitable for various manufacturing and industrial automation applications.

Tailored to Your Requirements
With eight body types and up to ten features per unit, tGard can be configured to meet your specific needs.

Efficient Integrated Solution
Combine multiple operator controls into a single device. Available as part of an interlock or control station.

Designed for High Reliability
Third party certified for use up to PLd/Cat. 3, or PLe/Cat. 4 where the High Level Coded element is used.

Installation Made Easy
With just two mounting points, QD connectors options, and a compact 40mm housing, tGard can be installed easily.

Resistant and Durable
Compact metal body for long-lasting operations in a variety of manufacturing and industrial automation settings.

Safety Data Communications
tGard can communicate directly with an IO-Link Safety master and provide important status information. AS-I safe solutions are also available.

Configuration Guideline

At the end of the selection process, the part numbers drop their “T”, except the first item. Example:
THE + TRX + TSN +TSMDL + TEC + TLG + TP6 + TG1 + T2E + TEB + TW3 = THERXSNSMDLECLGP6G12EEBW3
When creating a tGard stack, the wiring of connections follow these rules:

1. Safety circuits are in fixed positions on each connector and comprise of volt free circuits.

2. Inputs / outputs are allocated from the bottom of the stack, ascending.

3. On any one element, the input is assigned first, then the output(s).

4. Outputs are +24v, taken from the +24v supply.

5. Selection of the connector depends upon the wiring requirements for inputs / outputs / safety circuit of the total stack.

tGard can be integrated into an IO-Link system with safe point-to-point communication, with increased productivity and increased data availability and accuracy.The single 5-pin connector helps reduce cabling costs and simplifies installation, maintenance and replacement processes. A valuable and cost-effective solution for small/medium sized spaces.

tGard High Level Coded

With the High Level Coded (HLC) element, tGard can include an RFID actuator which provides protection against defeat, high misalignment tolerance, and safety outputs through OSSD or SSR configurations.

tGard HLC allows guard monitoring up to PLe.
