ifm: R360 SafetyController for mobile machines.

24-Aug-2010

 

 

Safety technology for extreme requirements.

  • Safety controller to EN ISO 13849 / cat. 3, EN 62061 SIL 2.
  • Extended monitoring and test routines for hardware and software.
  • Safe inputs and outputs for analogue, digital, pulse and PWM signals.
  • CAN interfaces with CANopen, CANsafety and SAE J1939 protocol.
  • Programmable to IEC 61131-3 with CoDeSys.


R360 SafetyController
a. Due to the integrated hardware and software functions, applications can be controlled and monitored up to cat. 3 / PL d to EN ISO 13849 according to the new machinery directive.
b. Permanent monitoring of CPU, memory and other hardware by the operating system, and the extended diagnostic functions of the outputs, ensure a safe operation of the control process.
c. The easy and clear programming system CoDeSys includes all important system information for the application program.
d. Via the CAN interface the devices can be connected to further safe and non safety-related controllers or input/output modules of the R360 device family using the CANsafety and CANopen protocol.

 


 


Functions and advantages
Almost all mobile vehicles have functions which may endanger persons and material. In more and more application areas (e.g. vehicle lifts, refuse trucks) there have been clearly defined product standards for some time. Due to the revised machinery directive the manufacturers of machines often have to meet new requirements.

 

For this reason there is an increasing demand for certified electronic assemblies for mobile vehicles. The SafetyController can be used in applications up to category 3 / PL d to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 2 to EN 62061.
