Preventa Machine Safety Products

Safety switches are a large group of electromechanical and electronic products/devices that serve to block electrical circuits (power supply, control) and in some cases are also mechanical locks. Today we will take a closer look at the products of the Schneider Electric Preventa line.

Preventa Safety Solutions

Schneider Preventa machine safety catalog includes XCS safety switches which are divided into subtypes with magnetic coding and mechanical action technologies.

Magnetic coding technology

Products in XCS DM plastic housing with M12 cable/connector and flying lead connector. Such devices have a degree of protection: IP66 + IP67, IP69K (XCSDM3/4). They are also equipped with various types of contacts: NC+NO, NO+NO, NC+NC+NO, NC+NO+NO (magnetically coding switches), and 2 PNP/NO outputs (magnetic coding system). 5 / Sar = 15 (XCSDMC), Sao = 8/Sar = 20 (XCSDMP/DMR), Sao = 10/Sar = 20 (XCSDM3/DM4).

Mechanical action technology

Safety switches of mechanical action are divided into two types of housings, plastic, and metal.

Products in a plastic case

1. XCS P/PL/PR/TL/TR

  • Limit switches/safety switches with rotary lever or shaft.
  • 1 cable gland (XCS P) / 2 cable glands (XCS T).
  • Degree of protection: IP66 + IP67 (XCS P)/IP67.
  • Switching angle: 5° (XCS PL/PR/TL/TR).
  • 2 or 3 slow-breaking contacts.


2. XCSMP/PA/TA/TE

  • Interlock switches with mechanical drive.
  • With cable /1 ISO M16 cable gland (XCS PA/TE) / 2 cable glands (XCS TA).
  • Degree of protection: IP67.
  • 2 or 3 fast acting or slow-breaking contacts.

Products in a metal case

1. XCS D/M

  • Limit switches for security systems
  • 1 cable entry (XCS D)/with cable (XCS M)
  • Degree of protection: IP66 + IP67 (XCS D) / IP66 + IP67 + IP68 (XCS M)
  • 3 pins (XCS D)/3 or 4 pins (XCS M)

2. XCS A/B/C/E

  • Interlock switches with mechanical drive.
  • 1 cable entry / 2 cable entries (XCS E).
  • Degree of protection: IP67.
  • 3 slow breaking contacts.

Also in the Schneider Preventa line, there are XCS safety switches in the explosion-proof version Preventa XCS ATEX D. These are switches for safety systems, for explosive environments. Certified products complying with EU Directive ATEX94/9/CE.

Such devices provide equipment safety through emergency stop lanyard switches and foot switches. These include:

  • inductive and capacitive sensors, angular position control sensors;
  • Namur sensors and data processing unit;
  • limit switches;
  • membrane and vacuum switches;
  • control and signal installations.

Applications for Schneider Electric safety switches

  • Safety switches with magnetic coding. Designed for equipment equipped with small guards or covers (with inaccurate control system and frequent movement), packaging equipment, labeling machines, bottling lines, food and beverage equipment, and equipment for the manufacture of micro-components.
  • Switches for security systems in a plastic case. Equipment for light industry, material handling, label production, textile machinery, and robotics.
  • Switches for security systems in a metal case. Equipment for heavy industry, machine tools, presses, metallurgy and steel industry, and automotive industry. Unfavourable conditions.

Benefits of Using Preventa

A complete and extended range of security switches, including 2 technologies and 3 product lines: magnetically coded with or without an integrated safety module, in plastic or metal housing. The main areas of application are the control of guards, doors, and removable covers of various machines by stopping their moving parts that pose a threat to the health of equipment operators. Meets all customer requirements.

Preventa XCS safety switches are compact devices built into equipment that greatly enhance safety: compliance with current standards, torx head screws, and a third contact specifically for diagnostics.

Preventa Safety Standards and Certifications    

The Schneider Preventa safety catalogue includes devices that are designed according to the EU directive ATEX94/9/CE. Appliances for use indoors or outdoors, in industrial areas, under sheds, places with a fire hazard, and in any other environment that is compatible with vapors and atmospheric or chemical agents that jeopardize the use of plastic materials. The directive applies to electrical and non-electrical products used in explosive atmospheres.

This means that all devices meet quality and safety standards. Thus, you can safely use them in your production without fear of dangerous situations.
