Today’s advanced safety technology is not just a means to ensure operator safety but is a way to improve performance. Traditionally, the functions of automated machine safety and control have been kept separate. But technological advances now enable safety functionality to be embedded within automation components such as variable speed drives and servo drives.
This paper explains how this simplified, integrated approach — along with networking safety over Ethernet — cuts installation costs, actually enhances operator safety, and reduces the amount of ‘full shutdown’ downtime, thereby improving overall production line performance.
