Safety simply configured

April 2011 IS & Ex

The logic for the PSR-Trisafe safety module from Phoenix Contact can be generated in a simple drag-and-drop operation using the free Safeconf configuration software.

All of the functions are available on the user interface so it is no longer necessary to waste time jumping between windows. The safety circuit can be configured without programming know-how in just a few mouse clicks.

The integrated simulation mode and automatic logic check function assist users when designing safety circuits. Using the simulation function, all of the logic is tested at the PC without requiring any additional hardware or without having to use a pre-installed machine. As a consequence, possible errors are corrected before the machine is actually commissioned, therefore reducing project execution times. Once the safety logic has been designed and tested at the PC, it is downloaded into the configurable PSR-Trisafe safety module using a standard USB cable.

The module can evaluate up to 20 safe input signals and has four integrated safe outputs as well as cycle and signalling outputs that switch with respect to ground.
