    About DeviceNet Safety DeviceNet is an open-field, multi-vendor, multi-bit network, which combines the controls in the machine and line control levels with information. The DeviceNet Safety network adds safety functions to the conventional standard DeviceNet communications protocol. The DeviceNet Safety concept has been approved by a third-party organization (TÜV Rhineland).

  • Page 37: Safety Network Controller Overview

    • As a Safety Logic Controller, the NE1A-series Controller executes safety logic operations and controls local I/O. • As a Safety Master, the NE1A-series Controller controls the remote I/O of Safety Slaves. • As a Standard Slave, the NE1A-series Controller communicates with the Standard Master.

    Previously prepared logic functions and function blocks can be combined to create a user-defined function block using the Network Configurator version 1.5@ or higher. This can be used to standardize functions that are used fre- quently to facilitate reusing them. Passwords can also be used to protect the programming inside the function blocks by making them “black boxes.”...
