Improves safety and operability
Tablets are more often used as control terminals at manufacturing sites. From the standpoint of ISO/IEC safety standards, when tablets or other operation devices are used near sources of danger from machinery, the tablets need to be equipped with safety devices, such as an enabling switch and an emergency stop switch for immediately shutting down the machinery.
With Safety Commander™, a tablet can be readily equipped with a safety device
With Safety Commander™, tablets now come with safety. Operability is also improved by the ergonomic design. Furthermore, lower equipment cost and higher work efficiency can be achieved.
Adapts to both vertical
and horizontal use
With Safety Command™, a tablet can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientation, thanks to a rotating holder. The emergency stop switch, which must be accessed instantly, can also be positioned for ease of use.
Operability regardless
of handedness
The ergonomic holder design and enabling switch position result in ease of holding and operability.
Fit tablets of various sizes
The adjustable docking structure fits screen sizes of 8 to 11 inches. Safety Commander™ can also be attached to rugged tablets with thicknesses of 10 to 24mm (*1) by using a spacer accessory.
*1)Standard thickness: up to 10mm
When accessory "tablet thickness adjustment kit A" is used: up to 18mm
When accessory "tablet thickness adjustment kit B" is used: up to 24mm

IP54 protection
Usable even in dusty environments or when exposed to splashing or spraying.
USB charging port
For charging the tablet, with no worries about losing battery power during use.
* 5V DC-1.5A output
Combining Safety Commander™ with a tablet solves common problems on the work floor
Can the need for dedicated terminal development be eliminated?
BEFORE
Creating dedicated terminal devices in house can be costly, including the development costs. Keeping up with changing needs as features are removed or upgraded is also a burden.
AFTER
Combining Safety Commander™ with a tablet results in a low-cost dedicated control terminal. Hardware development is unnecessary, and discontinuations or upgrades can be handled readily at the software level. Safety and security are also maintained.
Is there a way to improve touch panel functions?
BEFORE
A dedicated touch panel is used for equipment control. We would like to increase the functions but also want to keep costs down.
AFTER
Combining Safety Commander™ with a tablet enables use for
process control, viewing of drawings, and operation log checking. Along with safety assurance, on-site work efficiency is improved. Costs have also been kept low.
Can the number of different touch panels on panel boards be reduced?
BEFORE
Individual touch panels are installed on multiple panel boards, but this is inefficient as the panels are used infrequently.
AFTER
Using one detachable Safety Commander™ and tablet, operations can be performed in multiple workplaces. It is no longer necessary to install permanent touch panels in each workplace. Safety is also improved, since the safety features are right at hand.
Can an existing tablet be used for equipment control?
BEFORE
We already have a tablet for process control and would like to use it
also for controlling equipment, but are concerned about safety.
AFTER
By simply attaching safety features onto the tablet, we were able to use it for equipment control. We also saved on equipment costs.
