It provides two outputs: Output 1 is a discrete reed-relay suitable for signaling and interlock circuits, while Output 2 is a solid-state NPN transistor output that can drive logical inputs in a PLC or safety controller. The MAC-1 measures about 110 x 100 x 75 mm (4.3 x 3.9 x 3.0 in) and is intended for mounting in typical industrial control panels; it works with MINI-ARRAY transmitters and receivers to implement a measuring light curtain safety system that provides a clear interface for machine guarding logic. The RS-232 and RS-485 serial data outputs support data transfer to a host, PLC, or logging device, enabling monitoring of beam status, event timing, and integration with broader safety or automation systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Banner","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":51676530245934,"sku":null,"price":313.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_27bd12a9-5e4c-4fe4-85b8-a30361a4c029.jpg?v=1769551495","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/banner-engineering-43296-rs-232-mini-array-mac-1-controller","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
