Safe drive solutions protect both personnel and machinery, without putting restrictions on the production process. With the combination of the servo amplifier PMCprotego D and the safety card PMCprotego S a complete safe drive solution is available, which offer the user many safety functions, ranging from the safe stop function and the safe movement function to the safe braking function and the safe braking test. The movement is monitored where it arises. Reaction times are considerably shortened, and at the same time costs are reduced due to the lower number of overriding safety components. Above all during set-up operations, better insights into the process are possible and a rapid re-start of the machine is achieved.
