The AS-Interface is by far the simplest networking system for low level field devices, says Ken Davies, Managing Director of LC Automation.
According to Malcolm Chadwick, Sales Director of LC Automation: "It is a valuable source of safety information and essential reading for anyone who is responsible for machinery safety".
Chadwick goes on to explain: "If you are a machinery safety professional, this handbook will provide the information you need to meet your machinery safety responsibilities".
His claim is highlighted perfectly by the very first section, "A practical approach to safety".
It consists of 14 pages of machinery safety background information and details of the latest requirements, regulations and directives.
"It's an excellent basis to work from", says Chadwick.
The "Safety network" section also begins with an 8-page introduction looking specifically at Profibus and AS-interface Safety at Work, including an AS-interface guideline sheet and installation checklist.
In a similar way each colour-coded section begins with specific background and application notes before giving a wide range of products with technical specifications, order codes and list prices.
With everything in one place, it's easy to find and select the correct safety product for any application.
Because LC Automation is dedicated to offering a complete safety service, the "Machinery safety handbook" is not intended to replace its expert technical advice and backup.
It is simply there to help select the right safety products for a specific application along with the background information needed. Request a free brochure from LC Automation ...
