Safety over IO-Link
Safety over IO-Link combines safety and automation technology into one system and gives you the best of both worlds. Our IO-Link blocks for safety applications permit applications up to PLe/SIL3 and are equally suitable for the connection of standard commercially available binary sensors and actuators. Thanks to universally usable M12 standard lines, you also save time and money, optimize the machine design, simplify commissioning and increase rationality. In addition, you can group the machine functions and/or machine areas onto a module in a way to optimize the structural overview of the machine.
IO-Link blocks for safety applications are remotely serviceable via the IO-Link Diagnostic Tools, so in the event of service they can be replaced. This is good for reducing downtimes to a minimum. Their suitability for use in the field permits equipment installations outside of the control cabinet; even under harsh environmental conditions, such as the presence of dust, dirt, oils, water, emulsions or mechanical stresses. In the future, all indicators for connecting actuators, safety switches, safety sensors and even reliable guard locking devices will be directly in the field.
