Automation needs safety and reliability. To ensure these for systems and operators, Balluff offers a comprehensive safe networking portfolio, that now includes their new CIP Safety I/O module. The module is a reliable solution for the safe connection of sensors and actuators to industrial controllers, even in harsh environments with influences such as dust, vibration, or liquid. The module, which can be mounted directly on the machine and has an IP67-certified housing, communicates with safety components via EtherNet/IP using the CIP Safety protocol. The combination of protocols enables the exchange of safety and standard control data as well as diagnostic information over a single Ethernet network.
May 13, 2025 With safeguards on machinery, measures must be taken to guarantee the safety of human and machine. These measures are described in the standard ISO 13855 and ensure that the machine is brought to a safe state before the danger point can be reached. The safety distance must be selected in such a way that any…
