The safety monitor is the core device of AS-i Safety (Safety at Work).
The configuration of safety-related devices connected to the safety monitor is defined by the PC. A unique control mode according to the combination is selectable with the definition on the PC.
For example, emergency stop, electromagnetic lock safety door switch, two-handed operation, and category 0 or category 1 stop can be selected.
The monitor can be controlled using the AS-i address in order to make full use of the AS-i diagnostic function.
The following two types of monitor control are possible.
| • |
A safety monitor with one 2-channel operating circuit. |

Enhanced safety monitor
With the enhanced safety monitor support more functions. A larger work memory facilitates configuration of com- plex applications. Transient shutdowns are stored in a buffer for diagnostic pur- poses. Logical functions can be com- bined with one another and cascaded. Additional timers for ON and OFF delays as well as pulse functions have also now been integrated. |
