BE ON THE SAFE SIDE!

The fi eldbus-independent openSAFETY protocol was tested

according to IEC 61784-3 FSCP 13 and approved by national

IEC committees representing 27 countries including China,

USA and Germany, and is therefore released for international

standardization. Because openSAFETY is bus independent,

it can be used with all fi eldbus or industrial Ethernet systems.

End customers have been requesting a uniform and manufacturer-

independent standard for years, and openSAFETY is the response to

those requests. It allows increases in productivity that are currently

not possible with other safety protocols.■ ■ one single, uniform standard for all leading fi eldbuses

■ ■ maximum productivity due to effi cient cross-communication

■ ■ reduced commissioning and maintenance time

■ ■ automatic safe parameterization

■ ■ perfectly suited to safe modular machine concepts

■ ■ sole 100% open safety solution

■ ■ fastest IEC 61508 SIL3 communication solution

■ ■ no risk involved in investment: TÜV certifi ed conformance test

IEC APPROVES openSAFETY AS WORLDWIDE STANDARD |

openSAFETY constitutes a universal safety standard

for an entire production line, irrespective of the control

system manufacturer and fi eldbus standard used in it.

The bus-independent openSAFETY standard therefore

reduces costs as well as commissioning time for

production facilities as a whole.

openSAFETY: the fi rst open and bus-independent safety standard for all Industrial Ethernet solutions

Smart Safe Reaction – it doesn‘t always have to mean downtime.

Conventional safety technology often means stopping all the

machines when the smallest disturbance occurs. Smart Safe Re-

action uses a completely new approach. Flexible safety functions

such as Safe Direction or Safely Limited Increment are integral

parts of the drive system and open up new perspectives. Intuitive

connection and graphic virtual wiring of certifi ed function blocks

makes it possible to easily and clearly represent even highly

complex dependencies.
