Safely in There are now more ways of connecting safety devices such as fail-safe sensors or light curtains to the safety version of ActuatorSensor-Interface (AS-i) with the launch by ifm electronic of the AC007S module. Ideal for use with ifm electronic's unique safe proximity sensors, the SIL3-compliant AC007S module takes OSSD (output signal switching device) signal input from a sensor or other ESPE (electrosensitive protective device) and checks the integrity of that signal, for example for cross faults, as well as the switching status of the ESPE and its own internal integrity and transmits this data via As-i Safety at Work. Overall safety is ensured on the AS-I Safety at Work system by the safety monitor, and the safe data transmission on the AS-i bus has been approved by TÜV and BIA. It is suitable for signal transmission up to the highest category 4 to EN 954-1 and IEC 61508 / SIL3. ifm electronic’s IP67-rated AC007S safe input module can be field mounted along with other standard or safe devices on the AS-i cable, which supplies power for the unit in addition to bus signals. The AC007S features bright LED's for visualisation of signal states or possible faults, while connection to the input can be via industry standard M12 connectors or cage clamp terminals.
