Machine safety products receive TÜV type approval

B&R safety products enable simple integration of safety technology. Fixed wiring is replaced by safe data transfer via the existing machine fieldbus system, and flexibly configured or programmed safety behaviour adapts optimally to various situations. Diagnostics for safety components are available via the machine fieldbus network, providing detailed data about the status of the machine.

Safety shut-offs do not always have to involve shutting down the machine. When opening a protective cover, for example, it is often sufficient to reduce the speed. Smart yet safe reactions to various situations provide safety without stopping the production process. The machine does not need to be emptied and set up again, and manual intervention is no longer necessary. This results in real advantages for the user that can be easily implemented with programmable safety behaviour.

Rapid advances in technology make it necessary to continually update the safety regulations. Adapting safety products to the current regulations in the area of safety technology has a high priority at B&R. The safety-related products SafeDESIGNER, SafeLOGIC, X20 SafeIO and Ethernet Powerlink Safety fulfil the requirements of ISO 13849 Performance Level (PL) e and Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) of IEC 62061 and IEC 61508.
