Information is collected from its source via safe digital inputs and outputs, then distributed to the corresponding sensors and actuators via the SafeLogic central processing unit.

The Acopos drive system from BandR allows functions such as safe limited speed to be enabled directly over the network Wiring these safety-related signals to the drive is a thing of the past

The information is collected from its source via safe digital inputs and outputs, then distributed to the corresponding sensors and actuators via the SafeLogic central processing unit.

Powerlink provides the best possible communication connection between the SafeLogic and the nonsafety grade controller.

The system can handle uncontrolled and controlled stops, safe stop and safe operation halt, safe limited step measurement and safe limited absolute position, safe limited speed, and safe rotational direction.

Basic functions like safe restart inhibit or safe output for the motor holding brake are integral parts of the system.

Safety-related functions can be implemented in simple applications via conventional wiring and in complex systems via Powerlink Safety and SafeLogic.

This intelligent safety system, which is integrated in the drive, improves machine safety and ensures stable and economical operation of the system.
