Safety at Work by ifm

Safety at Work uses the standard AS-i protocol, which provides the backbone for the system to transmit safety-related information. Dynamic code sequences (8x4-bit data sequence) are stored in every safety module. During installation and start-up the safety monitor learns these code sequences. While in operation the safety monitor continuously compares the target sequence with the current sequence of the safety module. If the safety module provides a wrong code sequence, the safety monitor switches to the safe state.
