Wireless transmission of safety data using openSAFETY

One application of wireless transmission for safety data is to communicate between fixed base stations and moving system components. This principle is used in warehouse logistics and baggage transport systems, for example. Users can configure openSAFETY with latencies of up to 2.5s. This prevents low bandwidth or brief transmission interruptions from triggering unwanted safety reactions or stopping the machine.

Wireless safety communication also enables self-driving units to transfer between safety zones without interruption; the transition from one zone to the next is seamless. This means mobile units can be used flexibly and are always safe within the network. To provide comprehensive diagnostics, openSAFETY also has error counters and other diagnostic functions.
