E-stop, guarding, or presence sensing function are machine safety functions that require multiple elements. The elements include a sensor or input device, a logic device, and an output device. We provide guidance for specific safety functions that are based on functional requirement, equipment selection, and Performance Level requirement.
Built with you in mind, these safety functions minimize risk and speed development. Examples of the information that is provided in our safety functions documents include:
- Set-up and wiring
- Bill of materials
- Wiring schemes
- Configuration
- Verification and validation plan
- Calculation of Performance Level
Search for a document by common applications, or by products and safety rating standards.
