Examples for the use of the AS-i safety monitor:
The safety monitor is used commercially in machines and systems in which the
standard AS-i bus functions as the local bus. Thus, by using the safety monitor as a
bus subscriber, existing AS-i bus configurations can be expanded easily and safety
elements with corresponding "AS-i safety at work" interface easily integrated. If a safety
component does not have an "AS-i safety at work" interface, a so-called coupling
module can be used to make the connection. Existing AS-i master and AS-i power
supply units can continue to be used.
There are no branch-specific restrictions. Several of the primary areas of application
are listed here:
•
Machine tools
•
Expanded machining machines with multiple control elements and safety sensors
for wood and metal applications
•
Printing and paper processing machines, cutting machines
•
Packaging machines, single and as part of a system
•
Food processing equipment
•
Piece and bulk material transport systems
•
Machinery in the rubber and plastics industry
•
Assembly machines and manipulators
