ASM2E Safety Monitor

Areas of application

• Coupling adjacent AS-i networks in linked systems
  
  
• Safe, simultaneous drive switch-off in conveyor systems
  
  
• Applications in packaging systems, car manufacturing, storage systems, machine tools, processing centers, big production systems
  
  

Enlarge picture Coupling adjacent AS-i networks with the ASM2E Safety Monitor provides the option of cross-network emergency STOP connection and a global restart, especially with large and linked systems.

The ASM2E Safety Monitor has all the functionalities and features of the ASM1E Safety Monitor. Several safety-related actuators, such as drives or valve modules, can be monitored and safely switched simultaneously with just one ASM2E Safety Monitor.

This means, for example, that in one conveyor line all drives in an actuator group can be blocked or released at the same time. Adjacent AS-i networks can also be safety-related linked with the ASM2E Safety Monitor, so that, for example, if an emergency STOP button is pressed in an AS-i network, the adjacent network also switches off immediately. And adjacent networks can also be started in the same way.

The status information of the safety and signal outputs can also be retrieved from the respective other network for diagnostics purposes. A PC is not required to swap out the monitor or an actuator slave. For the user this means an efficient and economic use of their existing AS-i infrastructure.
