AS-i safety monitor ASM1/ASM1E

AS-i safety monitor category 4

ASM1/1, ASM1/2, ASM1E/1, ASM1E/2

The AS-i safety monitor is an EMERGENCY STOP control device as defined by EN 60204-1, STOP 0 / STOP 1, IEC 61508, SIL 3 and EN 954-1, category 4, for the monitoring of AS-i bus connected EMERGENCY STOP command devices, Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices and door locks. It monitors the safety-related AS-i sensors assigned to it by the configuration software asimon. In case an emergency stop should be required or if a fault occurs, the AS-i safety monitor in its protective mode can switch off the system within a response time of 40 miliseconds at most. According to the model chosen, either one or two dependent or independent release circuits with parameterizable external device monitoring are available.

The model versions of the enhanced AS-i safety monitor ASM1E differ to the basic version in a number of additional functions like activation/deactivation of monitoring devices or additional monitoring devices.
