AS-i Safety at Work field module.

Safe signal detection using 2 OSSD inputs

* Device connection via M12 sockets or cage vices.
* Module with standardised EMS interface for AS-i and 24 V.
* Certification to EN 954-1, category 4 and IEC 61508, SIL 3.
* For connection of an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) type 4 to EN 61496-1.

Utmost security
The new Universal Safety at Work module enables connection of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) to the AS-interface. Evaluation to the Safety at Work protocol is carried out with one of the four available AS-i safety monitors.
The safe data transmission on the AS-i bus has already been approved by TÜV and BIA. It is suitable for signal transmission up to the highest category 4 to EN 954-1.
Powerful LEDs on the front panel indicate switching states of the inputs and outputs, voltage supply and faults in the module, if any.

The safe module of the Universal series has two safety-related OSSD inputs. An output of a two-channel electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) to EN 61496-1 can be connected.
The two outputs of the protective equipment must be monitored for cross faults.
