Why Choose the Pizzato NX B42CE1SMK-F60 RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX B42CE1SMK-F60 is a compact RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for secure monitoring and controlled access to movable guards on industrial machinery. Part of the advanced Pizzato NX series, it combines RFID actuator recognition with a bistable solenoid locking mechanism, providing dependable guard monitoring for machine safety and automation applications.
This configuration operates in Mode 1, with the redundant OS1 and OS2 safety outputs activated when the actuator is inserted and locked. It provides two safety inputs, two safety outputs, separate signalling outputs for actuator-inserted and actuator-locked conditions, two solenoid activation inputs and a programming/reset input, enabling comprehensive integration with compatible safety controllers.
The NX B42CE1SMK-F60 is supplied with the VN NX-F60 universal RFID actuator with a low coding level and uses a 12-pole M12 connector for convenient field connection. Its auxiliary release can be operated with a hexagonal key from three sides, while a rear escape-release button provides an additional means of unlocking from inside a guarded area. IP67 and IP69K protection and an illuminated RGB LED cover make the switch well suited to demanding industrial installations.

Reliable RFID Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
RFID safety switches such as the Pizzato NX series combine electronic actuator recognition with mechanical guard locking. In Mode 1 operation, the NX B42CE1SMK-F60 activates its OS1 and OS2 safety outputs when the actuator is inserted and locked, enabling the associated safety system to verify the secure condition of the guard before hazardous machine operation is permitted.
The three-sided auxiliary release provides installation flexibility, while the rear escape-release button is particularly useful for guarded areas where personnel may require a means of releasing the guard from inside. Combined with its M12 connection, redundant safety architecture and robust environmental protection, the NX B42CE1SMK-F60 provides a versatile interlocking solution for modern automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and protective access panels.
- Industrial automation and robotic cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production and automated assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Guarded machine areas requiring an internal escape release.
- Machinery with hazardous residual movement after shutdown.
- Safety systems requiring RFID guard monitoring and controlled locking.
