Break free from hardwired safety
28 October 2015
B&R makes programmable safety technology profitable for small applications. Even in the smallest applications, integrated safety technology is now no more expensive than a conventional relay solution.

B&R's commitment to absolute scalability is nothing new. From entry level to high end – all B&R products are fully interchangeable without having to make any major functional changes. The new mixed modules take scalability one step further on the low end of B&R's safety portfolio. Safety solutions on the smallest scale can now be implemented with a single X20 SafeIO module.
Wear-free semiconductors
B&R's programmable safety technology is based on semiconductor components that are not subject to wear like conventional electromechanical relays, which have to be replaced periodically to maintain the functionality of the safety application. Semiconductor-based safety technology is also considerably faster than relay-based solutions.
