PC Software Integrates Safety/Control

Print
Simatic WinAC RTX F is billed as the industry’s first PC-based control software with integrated safety functions, eliminating the cost for a separate safety-rated controller. 

Using a standard Dual-Core Windows XP PC, the software allows standard
control logic, as well as office applications, to run on the same PC
with safety-rated logic, reducing integration time and cost. Scalable
for standard PCs or WinXP-Embedded PCs, the control software is
available for a wide range of process and discrete automation
applications. The TUV-certified software complies with EN 954-1 to Cat.
4, IEC 62061 to SIL 3 and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e-safety standards.
The software’s runtime kernel, programmed specifically for safety
logic, runs in parallel to other PC-based applications for standard
logic control functions or other tasks. The software is also isolated
from any system lock-up or operating system crash. Strict compatibility
with Dual-Core based x86 PC systems enable the software to run all
safety-rated automation tasks without interruption, says the vendor.
