The safety fieldbox allows for simple connection of up to eight safety
switchgear devices with Plug and Play. The universal device interfaces for
8-pole M12connectors allow for connection of a wide range of safety switchgear
devices, including electronic and
electromechanical solenoid interlocks, sensors, control panels, light curtains
and switches. The version for 8-pole connectors enables connection of 2 safety
inputs, 2 test pulse outputs, 1 safety output (internal 2-channel), 1 digital
input for diagnostic signals as well as the power supply to connected safety
switchgear devices.
This enables transmission of locking device activation signals on solenoid
interlocks, alongside safety signals and diagnostic signals. The signals are
transmittedfor evaluation to the safety controller via the safety fieldbus
interface. This communication is safe against modifications, changes to the
telegram sequence, transmission errors, etc. Parallel transmission of safety
signals enables free evaluation of safety switchgear devices in the safety
controller.
An additional integrated digital input on each 8-pin device portallows for
evaluation of the diagnostic signals of all connectedsafety switchgear. The
universal 8-pin device connection allows safety switchgear from other
manufacturers to be connected with ease using, e.g. adapters.
The safety fieldbox is available with the three safety fieldbus protocols
PROFINET with PROFIsafe, EtherNet/IP with CIPSafety and EtherCAT with FSoE,
in order to be able to design the safety functions of a machine independently
of the used control system.
