You distribute the safe I/O modules modularly throughout your network – entirely without a safety controller – using SafetyBridge technology.
The easiest way to integrate safety in your system: intelligent, safe I/O modules with SafetyBridge technology. Here the safety function is processed directly in the I/O modules. This eliminates the need for the safety controller and the safe fieldbus system.
SafetyBridge technology means that input and output modules exchange safety-related signals with each other. Since the modules process the safety function themselves, they use the standard controller and network as a means of transport only.
Without a safety controller or safe fieldbus system, this is a cost-effective solution for functional safety in standard applications.
The safe I/O modules with SafetyBridge technology meet all safety requirements up to SIL 3 or PL e.
SafetyBridge I/O modules are both suitable for flexible placement in your network and are compatible with all common bus systems.
You can even operate the safe I/O modules in mixed networks such as PROFIBUS and PROFINET on one controller. Simply select the right bus coupler for your standard control system and bus system from our modular Inline I/O system.
