Siemens Automation and Drives has launched new software which allows the integration of RFID (radio frequency identification) systems into business processes
The device has integral Profibus and Profinet interfaces, and as a proxy device it can handle standard and failsafe communication between the bus systems over Profisafe.
The safety-related programme itself is created with Simatic Step 7 and S7-Distributed Safety.
The digital, failsafe ET 200S input/output module EM 4 F-DI / 3 F-DO 24VDC/2A is tailored to the requirements of SIL 2/Cat.3 and corresponds to requirements for standard applications in production machinery and machine tools.
The input/output module has the functions short-circuit test and discrepancy time monitoring and can be used, for example, in mixed configurations with standard modules and SIL3/Category 4 modules.
