Integrated Safety Solution via IO-Link

With Safety over IO-Link from Balluff machine and systems builders now have a cost-saving automation and safety solution in one system. The integrated safety concept builds on the proven standards IO-Link and Profisafe.

Safety-relevant data are tunneled from Profisafe to the controller through a standard IO-Link master. Safety requirements up to PLe / SIL3 can be achieved. M12 standard cables are used to simply plug safety components from Balluff or safety devices from other manufacturers into the newly developed safety I/O module, the Balluff Safety Hub. Safety over IO-Link is simple to install and easy to integrate into existing systems
