Functional safety The networking of all units in a digital factory also includes functional safety. Here, safety solutions from the COMPLETE line range provide the ideal protection for personnel and systems. With cloud-based data acquisition, you can analyze your operative processes, optimize machine engineering in terms of ergonomics, and monitor wearing components in real time. All safety products have SIL certifi cation and are characterized by their easy confi guration and installation. SafetyBridge Technology Realize decentral safety solutions with SafetyBridge Technology. No safety controller whatsoever is required and it does not depend on the network used. The technology is integrated into the Inline and Axioline F I/O systems and is compatible with all bus couplers of these systems. The safe I/Os are installed with the standard I/Os distributed within the equipment. The system consists of safe input and output modules and a logic module. The latter captures and issues safe signals. It generates and monitors the safety-relevant SafetyBridge transmission protocol and processes the logical connections of the parameterized safety logic. The logic module therefore assumes the task of a safe controller. 24 PHOENIX CONTACT
