Safety and standard components in one network
AS-Interface Safety at Work
AS-Interface Safety at Work is a safety-related extension of the AS-Interface and is simply integrated in an existing AS-Interface network. All standard and safety components are activated in parallel via the same cable so that you can integrate safety-related functions such as an EMERGENCY STOP or door monitors in your existing system.
In order to evaluate safety-relevant signals, you will only require one additional safety monitor that uses dynamic code sequences to reliably communicate with the Safety at Work components. Installing an AS-Interface guarantees compliance with safety category 4 according to EN 954-1 and SIL3 according to IEC / DIN EN 61508.
Clear benefits of "AS-Interface Safety at Work":
- Only one bus line required to transfer safe and unsafe data
- Fully compatible with all standard AS-Interface devices
- No special communication mechanisms required
- Diagnosis of safe modules possible via a standard AS-Interface master
- Category 4 requirements specified in EN 954-1 and IEC 61508 are fulfilled
- Secure input card in the process computer (PLC) not required
- Easy parameterization using special configuration software on the PC
Several hundred products with a SIL/PL assessment, free tools, and brochures in one place: the "Functional Safety Hub" is your starting point when you have to implement safety functions.
