New: Fast 32-bit safety controller for mobile machines
Essen, February 2013 – For safety-related applications in mobile
machines ifm electronic offers a new powerful 32-bit safety
controller. The device is a perfect choice for complex and
demanding control functions.
Another new feature is the graded error handling. The user can define
response thresholds. The fast 32-bit safety controller can be used in a
way to switch off in case of serious errors and bring the plant into the safe
state. In case of less serious errors, parts of the plant in previously
defined areas can still be used. Not all components have to be switched
off. Predefined functions already exist for this.
The behaviour of the inputs and outputs can be adapted to the respective
application easily and precisely using the CODESYS programming
software. 2 CANsafety interfaces are possible.
The R360 safety controller is a completely new development in a tried-
and-tested housing. Even under extreme operating conditions it
guarantees its monitoring and protection function. On the occasion of the
bauma exhibition, ifm will present this 32-bit safety controller that has
been developed according to current standards for hardware and
software and certified by TÜV.
