New JetSafeControl software-configurable safety controller
Jetter is introducing its JetSafeControl safety controllers, saying they make implementing safe drives as easy as a walk in the park; all major safety functions are already integrated into the firmware of this controller series. Furthermore, the JetSafe software tool lets users adapt the safety functions to the individual safety concept, and enhance them.
In JetSafe the corresponding sensors and functions of a machine are assigned to inputs/outputs of the devices and the safety PLC. All major control devices and sensors used in safety technology, such as light curtains, door contacts, enabling keys and emergency stop devices, are preconfigured and can be selected by clicking the corresponding icon. In the function chart the monitoring functions (SS1, SS2, SOS, SLA, SLS, SLP, SDI and SSM) are then linked with logic operations. This can be done on the programming interface quickly and easily just by using drag-and-drop configuring without having to write any program code.
Stops, speeds, accelerations, positions, ranges and directions of several axes are monitored in terms of their relation to each other. These functions can be parameterised directly in JetSafe in a context-oriented way.
JetSafe automatically creates a terminal diagram and links the elements with the safety module to which they are connected physically. Safety modules that have already been tested are managed in a library and can be used for other drives or projects. In addition, the library lets users define new modules, protect them or save them for future reuse. Once the safety controller, sensors and actuators have been configured, JetSafe automatically creates the wiring diagram.
Jetter's JetSafeControl safety controller series comprises four models ranging from 100x115x45mm to 100x115x122.5mm that are approved up to PLe of EN 13849, or SIL3 of EN 61508. All drive monitoring functions to EN 61800-5-2 are supported. They feature up to 58 safe digital inputs, 22 safe digital outputs, up to six signalling outputs and a safe relay output for isolating circuits.
