The other type uses magnetism to squeeze friction plates together. Typically a plate lined with friction material will be sandwiched between two steel plates. These clutches are in or out and no slip is allowed.
What the OP wants is help with the electronic circuit that controls the clutch, but there are so many different ways of detecting an obstruction that his question can not be answered without more information concerning the obstruction detection method.

This was the only generic reference I could find, but there are plenty of products out there if you do a search on "magnetic particle clutch".

RE: electronic clutch?
on sunday, as an afterthought, a production supervisor asked me why, after i had rectified an unrelated fault, why her machine faults when she tries to run at over 98per minute.
the machine max is 150pm and when she showed me i saw electronic clutch fault on the hmi. this ive seen before if a product becomes trapped in the sealing jaws or other jammage, but this time the machine just give up.
you see? nothing in jaws, no blockage, and 52pm under max limit. if i know where this fault signal is generated from i can stop guessing, im sure you can appreciate a high speed production enviroment doesnt allow me time to pursue this,
hope this helps and you have been of great assistance,
thanks

Basically it means that the servo is exceeding it's current limit, and the drive is shutting it down.
I've run into similiar conditions on lathes when they try to hog out too much of a cut. Or, shaving have built up in and around the slides, or lack of lubrication.
