Electronic Machine Safety Lock

The Curtis ECS module is a flexible, easy to implement, operator identification keypad. The unit ensures only authorized users have access to a machine, guaranteeing safe control and secure operation. Operators may identify themselves in multiple ways: through the use of a personal pin code, through compatible RFID tags or a combination of the two.

The ECS module is flexible to implement and can easily be integrated into machines with or without a CAN bus. The module incorporates a buzzer and two easy-to-read status LEDs providing the operator audio and visual feedback regarding identification acceptance and diagnostics. Integrates easily into any system. 

For CAN-based systems: CAN open implementation with an optionally connected CAN termination resistor. Supports CAN baud rates from 100Kbps to 1 Mbps. 

For non-CAN-based systems: the output relay will change state to indicate authorized access. The Curtis ECS module operates in demanding conditions with IP65 front and IP40 (upgradable to IP54) rear ingress protection. It is CE compliant, UL recognized, and ROHS2 Compliant.
