Why choose the Safety at Work system?
|
 |
|
Reduce wiring
A two-wire flat cable replaces all hard wiring and carries power and signal to each safety device. This eliminates the need to individually wire each safety device back to the main control cabinet. |
|
|
Universal connectivity
The Safety at Work system can be used directly with most major PLCs including Allen Bradley and Siemens, as well as DeviceNet, Profibus, and Ethernet bus systems. There are no requirements for special safety PLCs. |
|
|
Standard network protocol
The Safety at Work system uses the internationally accepted AS-i protocol. With over 2 million nodes installed, AS-i has been a major success in automation since 1994. |
|
|
Flexible topology
The Safety at Work system can be configured in ring, star, and trunk and drop topologies. The system is also capable of handling multiple safety zones on one network. |
|
|
Implements standard safety devices
The system is designed to use standard mechanical safety devices including door switches and e-stop buttons. There are no requirements to use system specific I/O devices. |
|
|
Integrated status indication
The Safety at Work system allows you to automatically monitor the status of each safety device, eliminating the need for redundant wiring and additional PLC input cards. |
|
|
Internationally approved
The Safety at Work system is rated up to Category 4 according to EN954-1 and carries TUV and IEC 61508 approvals. |
