Functional safety without safe I/O modules

With this and software-based safety solution, safety-related analogue I/O modules are no longer required. The solution package also includes a consultation service provided by the company’s safety experts.

With its Safe AI solution package, an automation solution for PROFINET applications has been made available for the first time by the company, which can process physical measured values in a safety-related way in the standardised range from 4-20 mA, based on standard sensors. As such, no safe analogue input modules should be installed, since the safe processing of signals is fully performed by the software.

The TÜV-certificaton enables safety functions up to SIL 3 and PL e to be implemented.
