Easily implement safety functions

14 October 2024

MACHINERY SAFETY a crucial component of occupational health and safety. This calls for systems where safety features may be easily created and added to the application; a need met by the samos PRO COMPACT starter kit from Wieland Electric.

The kit includes the safety control device, an SD card, a network and USB cable, and the samos PLAN safety software. This enables straightforward customisation of safety features without complex programming and efficient use of a powerful control system in small spaces.

The primary module, which has 16 safe inputs and outputs and is only 45 millimetres wide, combines flexibility and safety in one device. The compact design saves space in both the control cabinet and the storage area. At the same time, the samos PRO COMPACT may supports up to 12 digital I/O modules. Integrated Ethernet protocols enable connectivity to a standard controller or a user interface. In addition to the Ethernet interface, the safety controller has mini-USB and SD card ports. This allows the machine to be programmed flexibly. At the same time, software may be readily copied or exchanged. This greatly accelerates commissioning and reduces machine downtime.

The starter kit also includes a network cable and a USB cord. This guarantees that the devices communicate effortlessly and data is transferred efficiently. The application software is easily stored using the supplied SD card.

Wieland Electric's samos PLAN 6 features powerful programming software. The user-friendly programming tool provides a vast library of TÜV-certified function blocks that provide common, application-specific safety features. Simple drag and drop handling – true to the motto "parameterisation instead of programming" – significantly reduces engineering effort, project planning time, and the possibility of errors.
