Separate fieldbuses avoid EMI and other problems
Thomas Kramer, Technical spokesman at the SafetyBUS p Club, discusses the arguments in favour of separate fieldbuses for safety and standard data.
Optical transmission of SafetyBUS p data
Hokuyo Automatic of Osaka, Japan, is offering devices for the optical transmission of safety-related data within a SafetyBUS p network.
Stock is the key to the company's next-day service; from the £1m inventory, cables are cut to order and shipped on the same day.
Industrial automation cables cover a broad range and, from Belcom's viewpoint, are categorised into the following groups: industrial ethernet; fieldbus cables; commercial/domestic lighting and automation; servo motor cables; industrial electronic multipairs and multicores; and special design cables.
Belcom has joined The SafetyBUS p Club International so that in teh future it can deliver its own cables for fieldbus automation employing SafetyBUS p.
The growing awareness of ease of installation, flexibility of use and longevity of SafetyBUS p systems is leading to greater demand for compliant cables.
The ability of SafetyBUS p systems to integrate readily into existing fieldbus systems is also opening opportunities to remove ageing electro-mechanical devices - together with their cumbersome wiring systems - and replace them with, at least from a cabling point of view, more streamlined fieldbus cabling.
It is not hard to see that the way forward for safety system cabling is with SafetyBUS p systems, according to the club, and Belcom is making a contribution to it.
