Almost all mobile vehicles have functions which may endanger persons and material. In more and more application areas, clearly defined product standards have been in place for some time. Examples are vehicle lifts and refuse trucks. As a result of the revised machinery directive, machine manufacturers often have to meet new requirements. There is therefore an increasing demand for certified electronic assemblies for mobile vehicles. The R360 safety controller supplied by ifm electronic can be used in applications up to category 3/PL d to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 2 to EN 62061.
The R360 safety controller is capable of extended monitoring and test routines for hardware and software, and features safe inputs and outputs for analogue, digital, pulse and PWM signals. CAN interfaces with CANopen, CANsafety and SAE J1939 protocol are available and it is programmable to IEC 61131-3 with CoDeSys.
Due to the integrated hardware and software functions, applications can be controlled and monitored according to the new machinery directive. Permanent monitoring of CPU, memory and other hardware by the operating system, and the extended diagnostic functions of the outputs, ensure safe operation of the control process.
The easy and clear programming CoDeSys system includes all important system information for the application program. Via the CAN interface, the devices can be connected to further safe and non safety-related controllers or input/output modules in the R360 device family using the CANsafety and CANopen protocols.
The safety concept monitors all internal and external functions and reliably switches off in case of an error. Special test routines for hardware and software monitoring are implemented in the devices.
The certified device hardware, the operating system software and the programming tools make it easier for the project engineer to obtain approval for his machine as he only has to concentrate on his application program.

Electrical Power & Protection
Despite growing digitalisation, there are still many situations where analogue measured values such as the level in a tank or the temperature of a climatised room must be directly readable in the control cabinet or at the control desk. The current loop display is designed for precisely this purpose.
