Safety Integrated
Safety Integrated is a measure for integrating safety-related functions into standard Siemens products and is embedded in the automation platform called Totally Integrated Automation .
aims
Safety Integrated is intended to make engineering considerably easier and increase the availability of the automation systems. Machines and systems can be implemented more quickly and adapted to new requirements. Safety Integrated should also simplify retooling and modernization. Existing machines and systems can be upgraded more economically to the state of the art in accordance with the applicable standards. The focus is always on the safety of people and machines.
Products
Drive technology
With the integration of the safety technology in the drive, more flexible safety functions than the simple emergency stop of the machine are possible. This also increases the reliability and response time of the system.
Automation systems
At Siemens, Safety Integrated in automation is based on the SIMATIC industrial automation system . Safety-related SIMATIC controllers monitor themselves independently, recognize errors independently and immediately change to or remain in a safe state when an error occurs.
communication
The " PROFIBUS " and " AS-Interface " standards for communication in the field or sensor / actuator area become systems that enable safe communication through the integration of safety technology.
Low voltage switching technology
The existing modular system called "SIRIUS" for switching, protecting and starting motors and systems is being expanded by Safety Integrated in order to be able to take on seamlessly safety-related acquisition, reporting, monitoring and control tasks.
Sensors
The optical safety sensors "SIMATIC FS" are an extension of the process monitoring portfolio from Siemens. They are specially designed for industrial environments in order to protect people, machines and systems. The "MiniCoder GEL 2443" speed sensors from Lenord + Bauer and the "SGM2G-A" encoder from VS-Sensorik enable the actual value acquisition of speeds to be reliably measured by the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) . Due to the implemented error detection in the SINUMERIK controls , this is also possible for safety applications using just one speed sensor .
