## Mobile Safety in Industrial Cells with the Dold RE 6900 Wireless Safety System
Dold has introduced the RE 6900 wireless safety system to increase the freedom of movement for operators in industrial automation environments. This system wirelessly provides emergency stop and enabling functions for robotic cells and large machinery.
The RE 6900, as part of the SAFEMASTER W product family, combines a wireless handheld device with radio-controlled safety modules. The system keeps critical safety functions accessible to the operator without the need for fixed or wired devices, in compliance with Category 4/PL e and SIL 3 standards.
### Importance and Application Areas of the RE 6900 System
The RE 6900 is designed for service, installation, and maintenance operations in industrial automation applications where both mobility and functional safety are required. The system shortens the time it takes for operators to reach fixed emergency stop devices over long distances in large machinery, conveyor systems, robotic structures, and logistics areas.
The wireless handheld device can be configured as an emergency stop or an enabling switch. Both versions communicate with the radio-controlled safety module to execute safety shutdown and enabling commands.
### RE 6900 Features
- Compliance with Category 4/PL e and SIL 3 safety standards
- Comprehensive bidirectional wireless communication
- Wireless handheld device with emergency stop or enabling switch options
- Three-stage enabling switch mechanism: only the defined center position allows movement
- Detection of unexpected situations with handheld device drop or shock sensors
- RFID-based user authentication allowing access only to authorized personnel
- Support for different operating modes with UH 6900 modules: single and group mode
### User and Integrator Advantages
The RE 6900 provides operators with freedom of movement while making it easier to keep safety functions under direct control. Its wireless design eliminates cable clutter during both installation and maintenance, while offering the chance for quick intervention in large industrial areas.
This wireless system, added to Dold's SAFEMASTER W series, provides a flexible and safe solution without compromising strict safety certifications. It stands out as an ideal option for high safety and user-friendly applications, especially in dynamic work environments and robotic cells.
