■ Benefits
Integration of safety technology in standard automation means
less work for you and greater cost effectiveness.
Cost efficiency
• A single system for standard and safety automation reduces
the diversity of equipment
• One bus and one engineering system for standard and safety
technology cut costs
• Simple reproduciblity for series machines by means of
software solution
Productivity
• Shortening of downtimes through fast localization of faults plus
comprehensive diagnostics functions
• Speedy restarts after essential plant modifications thanks to
flexibility
• Safe, fault-tolerant systems also available for production
without stoppages
Standardization
• Uniform user interface for standard and safety technology
• Libraries increase re-usability
• Fewer control cabinet variants on machines
• Simpler installation technology in plants thanks to bus systems
■ Application
Safe sensing
For the sensing of signals you need devices which you can rely
on: SIRIUS detecting devices. In practically every application
these mechanical sensors detect movement sequences of all
types and pass them on in the form of an electric signal, thus
enabling machines or plants to be shut down immediately in the
event of a fault. All mechanical position switches can be used for
applications up to Cat. 4 according to EN 954-1 and have posi-
tively driven contacts according to IEC 60947-5-1. Be it for the
monitoring of protective devices or for the sensing of hazardous
movements by machine parts - SIRIUS Safety Integrated detects
to perfection every wrong movement even under the toughest
conditions.
