Safe input
May 1st 2009 There are now more ways
of connecting safety devices
such as fail-safe sensors or
light curtains to the safety
version of ActuatorSensor-
Interface (AS-i) with the
launch by ifm electronic
of the AC007S module.
SIL3-compliant, IP67-rated
and suitable for use with
ifm's safe proximity
sensors, it takes output
signal switching device
signal input from a sensor
or other electrosensitive
protective device and
checks the integrity of the
signal, for example, for
cross faults, as well as the
switching status of the
ESPE and its own internal
integrity and transmits data
via the As-i Safety at Work
system. More articles from ifm electronic Limited: |
