The Vehicle Safety Controller (VSC) is a wireless safety module that integrates into your machine or vehicle.
The VSC acts as the receiver for FORT’s Wireless Emergency Stop and Safe Remote Control systems. It can also
be configured as an emergency stop input, and emergency stop bridge, or as a wireless CAN bus bridge. The
VSC and all FORT controllers implement FORT’s proprietary SafetySense® technology to ensure consistent and
reliable control.
