VEHICLE SAFETY CONTROLLER
Wireless Industrial Safety Device for Autonomous Systems and More
Industrial Wireless Safety Device
The FORT Vehicle Safety Controller (VSC) is a wireless safety device for autonomous systems, mobile heavy equipment, and fixed machinery. For applications where wired connections are expensive, dangerous, or impractical, the VSC provides a safe and reliable wireless solution.


Built for Machine Safety
The on-machine VSC pairs with FORT’s Safe Remote Control and/or Wireless E-Stop and acts as the receiver for those systems. With patented communication technology and industry-leading safety architecture, the VSC is built from the ground up for maximum reliability.

Patented wireless system for critical commands

Dual-wired emergency stop loop with active diagnostics

Master enable relays for e-stop circuit integration or direct load control

Internal master enable fault detection
Wireless E-Stop Bridge
The versatile VSC can be configured as an input, output, or bridge. As an e-stop input, it can be used to safely incorporate fixed e-stop buttons, door switches or other wired safety devices into your wireless network, allowing you to stop multiple machines with a single wireless command.
Use FORT’s configuration tool to design your system and assign a care list of inputs to each VSC. Once paired, the units stay in constant two-way communication with one another, using rapid frequency hopping to avoid any risk of interference. The electrical safety loop circuit with diagnostics provides convenient integration.
