The new SafetyBridge I/O modules from Phoenix Contact expand the network-independent SafetyBridge system in terms of flexibility, functionality and application areas. The new modules include a safe input module with added inputs, as well as a new logic module with extensive functional upgrades.
The logic module can now communicate with up to 16 remote safe I/O modules. Together with the input modules featuring 16 safe inputs each, a SafetyBridge island can encompass up to 256 safe inputs. Up to 31 such islands can be operated from a standard control unit. These systems are able to exchange safety signals with each other. SafetyBridge technology is therefore fully suitable to being installed in large-scale and modularly structured machines and systems. The modules and the safety logic are very easy to set up using the Safeconf software.
There are 14 different safe function modules in total, ranging from a simple emergency stop through to various muting blocks. The safety solution is independent from the network and the control units, which makes it highly flexible when it comes to integrating functional safety into machines and systems. The safe modules mixed with non-safety inline I/Os, can be distributed across the network below a range of different standard control units.
How industrial network design impacts ESG commitments Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
In safety-critical industries like nuclear, petrochemical and oil and gas, installing a new industrial cable network is an extremely complicated task. Gary Bradshaw, a director of industrial network specialist, Omniflex explains why this is often unnecessary as plants are likely to have existing cabling capable of being used to create new industrial networks.
