Safety relays are the decision-making units in safety-related control systems. In these systems, they are used to initiate system shutdown if a dangerous situation is detected. The primary function of a safety relay is to monitor the state of a safety system and, if the monitored safety system’s state becomes unsafe, to open or close …
So when developing the case erector Tablomat LE a new, sustainable automation and safety concept was included. The requirement was for diagnostic data from the sensors to be available to the machine controller in real-time so that the plant operator can retain a complete overview of the machine status. There are four safety gates on …
