BECKHOFF - Safety and I/O technology in one system

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#FF0000" text="#000000" vlink="#FF0000" alink="#FF0000"> With the successful entry of fieldbus technology in a wide range of applications, one area that in the past had not been affected by control technology is becoming more and more significant: safety technology. The wiring of emergency off switches, light barriers and other components ensuring machine safety now takes up a significant proportion of the space available in cable ducts and control cabinets. High time for fieldbus technology to deal with the transfer of safety-relevant signals. Technically this has already been possible for some time, but the problem so far has been the absence of a manufacturer-independent open interface with a certificate guaranteeing adequate safety.</p> <p>Ihr Browser kann das Frame-Layout der Beckhoff-Site nicht darstellen.</p> <p>Sie benötigen mindestens: MS Internet Explorer 2.1 oder Netscape Navigator 2.01<br> Wir empfehlen Ihnen für beide Browser die Versionen 4.x oder höher.
