Certified in February 2010, the relay-free SafeMC safety circuit
automatically monitors how the motor responds to instructions from the
servo drive. This is executed by using fully digital encoders that are
certified according to EN ISO 13849. The electronics are integrated
directly on the drive to avoid increasing response times.Programming safety functions for devices with SafeMC is done in the
standard development environment using the company's automation studio.
Other features include compatibility with the open network-based safety
standard, openSAFETY and autonomous configuration of the components and
the embedded parameter chip allow quicker configuration during service
work, the company says.
