Next generation safety control

02 March 2015

The new samosPRO COMPACT from machine safety specialist, Wieland Electric, is a compact Safety solution that offers all of the benefits associated with much larger and much more complex units.

Measuring only 45mm in width, samosPRO COMPACT provides up to 20 safe inputs and 8 safe outputs utilising 4 switchable safe in-/outputs, the system can be extended with additional modules to as many as 116 secure inputs and 56 secure outputs and any number in between.

samosPRO COMPACT works in conjunction with Wieland’s project planning tool samos PLAN5+ to provide a library of up to 300 reliable, certified function blocks both standard and safety, providing solutions to complex safety tasks, with the option to develop your own user defined function blocks this saves both time and complexity within the project. Configurable project documentation can be achieved at the press of a button.

The simulation function with integrated logic analyser enables a check of the programmed safety functions without the hardware being present, which assists with problem solving and saves time during development and commissioning, raising overall functional security. Integrated USB, Ethernet and Modbus interfaces enable greater flexible access to the safety system, providing the user with more transparency during project planning and operation.

Designed for tough environments, samosPRO COMPACT works in an extremely wide ambient temperature range from -25 C to +65 C, providing security under extreme conditions for the first time. samosPRO COMPACT also offers a switching performance not achievable with any similar product with 4A solid state switching power at each individual output of the system, thus offering a high performance alternative to contactors and relays.

All inputs and outputs have an individual optical display, which makes for quick and easy fault diagnostics. All modules are available with removable screw or push-in terminal blocks, allowing more flexibility for the user and faster development, commissioning and maintenance time. Unlike other systems, remote maintenance can be achieved using the integrated online diagnosis and the system log book to localise problems, negating the need for expensive maintenance calls.
