Hello everyone. I am working on a job and the customer specified Allen Bradley safety components. This is a long conveyor with several peices of equipment on it. I am going to have ~8 E-Stop buttons and brobably another 8-10 other types of interlocks. Probably all the other interlonks will be FerroGuards. I was initially planning on using Jocab Safety products on this since they have a very nice junction box (the Tina8) which woule make this a snap as every E-Stop button and interlock needs to have a status input coming back to the PLC (ControlLogix). However I am stuck with Allen Bradley Safety.
Does anyone out there have much experience with the FerroGuards? I have used 4 of them recently and on 2 of them, the aux info contact did not work. Is this just a fluke or can I expenct some of the 10 I am going to buy to not work properly?
Also, since I have so many safety devices, I was thinking about using the Minituar Modular components.

sing the Minituar Modular components.Probably the MSR210P and several MSR220Ps. No one here at my office has any experience with them so I am asking the great people here if those would work well or if something else would be recomended.
Thanks,
Greg.
