Safety - February 2004Bluetooth foot controls bring safety benefits for medical and industrial applicationsA new range of custom-designed wireless foot controls from Schmersal uses the latest Bluetooth technology to increase operational safety in medical and industrial applications by eliminating unecessary cables and the potential hazards they can cause. The footswitches also bring ergonomic benefits by releasing operators from a fixed position dictated by cables. The devices can be used anywhere in the world via the globally available Bluetooth ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) radio band that does not require a licence or official approval by international government and telecommunications authorities. To meet the very highest standards required for medical applications and allow different devices to be operated in parallel, the footswitches automatically detect and correct transmission errors and use Bluetooth frequency-hopping techniques to avoid interference. To avoid incorrect operation, built-in sensors permanently monitor the location of each control.
