Inclination sensors

Notes and explanationsSafety technologyThere are functions in almost all mobile machines which may endangermaterial and persons. Many movements cannot be secured due to themachine’s size and the extreme conditions under which they are used. Thisalso explains why only a few, instructed people are allowed into the operatingareas of these systems. Of course the manufacturers do their best todesign safe machines which minimise the risk of accidents. Today, everymanufacturer has to comply with the general regulations for a safe machinedesign. But as these regulations and standards apply for many differentmachines they cannot be precisely adapted to the function of a specialmachine. Therefore there is an increasing number of product standardswhich are specifically tailored to these requirements.In some types of applications (e.g. vehicle lifts) there have been clear, definedproduct standards for some time now. The employers’ liability insuranceassociations also often have clear requirements towards the manufacturersof machines.For this reason there is an increasing demand for certified electronic assembliesfor mobile machines. The SafetyController can be used in applicationswhich require components up to safety category 3. The safety conceptmonitors all internal and external functions and safely switches off in thecase of an error. In future the CANopen protocol will also be used for thetransmission of safe data. The protocol addition CANopen Safety enablesthe transmission of safe and ”non-safe“ data on the same bus cable.GeneralinformationList of articlesMobilecontrollersI/O-modulesDialoguemodulesDiagnosisand servicebasic safety standardssafety groupstandardsproductstandardsB1 standardsgeneralsafetyrequirementstype Astandardsbasicsafetyrequirementsfor all machinestype B standardsB2 standardsspecialsafetyrequirementstype C standardsspecialsafety requirementsfor individual machinesClassificationof the differentsafety standardsfor machines andinstallations.Technicalinformationand customerserviceSensorsfor mobileapplicationsSignalconvertersConnectiontechnologyAccessoriesVisit our website: www.ifm.com9
