The Lovato SSF8TM is an RFID safety sensor with teach-in coding designed for non-contact monitoring of guards, doors and movable protective devices on industrial machinery. As part of the Lovato SSF safety sensor series, this 8-pin model combines RFID actuator recognition with safety-rated electronic outputs for dependable machine guarding.
The teach-in function allows the sensor to learn its associated RFID actuator, providing a higher level of coding than generic actuator recognition and helping reduce the possibility of inappropriate substitution. Its non-contact operating principle eliminates mechanical switching between the sensor and actuator, reducing wear in applications with frequent guard operation.
Operating from a nominal 24 V DC supply, the SSF8TM provides two safe OSSD outputs and uses an 8-pin M12 connector for convenient connection to machine safety circuitry. Its robust construction and high degree of environmental protection make it suitable for demanding industrial automation and machine-building applications.
RFID safety sensors such as the Lovato SSF8TM determine whether a protective guard is in the required position without relying on mechanically operated contacts. The absence of physical switching contact between the sensor and actuator helps provide long service life and dependable operation on guards that are opened frequently.
The teach-in coding function allows an RFID actuator to be associated with the sensor, strengthening protection against inappropriate actuator substitution. Combined with dual OSSD safety outputs and an M12 connection, the SSF8TM provides a practical solution for integration into modern machine safety architectures.
