By combining secure network connectivity, certified safety function blocks, and an easy to use graphical programming environment, users can efficiently integrate standards-compliant safety capabilities to equipment while meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. The system provides a TÜV-certified SIL3 machine safety solution that focuses on the critical control requirements of the production environment: safe operation and greater uptime of manufacturing equipment. High availability is delivered by integrating PROFINET with optional media redundant protocol (MRP) and multiple cable media options. Machine repair times are reduced by the ability to put a machine in a safe state without fully powering down the equipment, which, in turn enables faster start-up after a repair-especially useful on large production lines. The system eliminates the need for a separate safety CPU, enabling a highly-distributed safety I/O configuration that is cost effective and maintains high levels of performance as the system grows. In addition, companies can make online changes to safety logic.
