Functional safety

In the context of increasingly complex automation requirements, functional safety provides the foundation for protecting people and the environment. The integration of safe design and control elements serves as the basis for flexible, yet safe machine processes (or movements).

SAFETY IN MACHINES AND SYSTEMS

certified functions from a big modular system

From the safe release of movement to safe speed or position monitoring, KEB provides a broadly differentiated package for implementing sensor-actuated and sensorless safety in movement axes from 0.75 to 450 kW.

The coordination tasks of the different requirements are handled by the safety controller which, as a modular assembly in the I/O system, can be combined with all IPC-based function controls via safe data exchange.

Safety controller

As an integral part of machine automation, the safety controller monitors, manages and coordinates the functional and motion sequences. The safe programming and parameter assignment required for this form part of the automation platform.
