2. Robotics Workcell Safety
Ensuring safe operation of robotic workcells by monitoring access points, robot movement, and human presence, implementing safe stop functions when safety limits are breached.
Problem SolvedRobotic cells demand rapid and reliable safety responses. This safety monitor provides the necessary SIL 3/PLe rating to control safety outputs (OSSDs) for robot safe stop functions and can integrate various safety sensors (e.g., area scanners, safety mats) through its safe inputs. The configurable logic handles complex safety scenarios, providing robust protection within an IP20 rated control cabinet.

3. Conveyor System Emergency Shutdown
Designing an emergency shutdown system for long conveyor belts in material handling facilities, incorporating numerous pull-cord switches and E-stop buttons along the length of the conveyor.
Problem SolvedLarge conveyor systems require distributed safety devices. AS-Interface allows easy daisy-chaining of many safety E-stops and pull-cord switches. This safety monitor acts as the central brain, collecting safety signals from decentralized AS-i modules and initiating a safe shutdown (SIL 3/PLe) of the conveyor motor drives via its safe outputs. Its compact size and IP20 rating make it suitable for control cabinet integration in such environments.
