All in one safety controller for motion monitoring

SAFETY FUNCTIONS are parameterised in compliance with standards using the intuitive and licence-free samos PLAN6 software.

The focus is on user-friendly, standard-compliant implementation and simple integration into higher-level systems. The control system offers integrated Ethernet protocols and interfaces for this purpose.

Wieland Electric is bringing movement to its safety portfolio: With samos PRO MOTION, the technology company presents a new all-in-one safety controller with integrated motion functionality. A total of six TÜV-certified motion function blocks ensure that up to 60% fewer modules are required and therefore more space is available in the control cabinet than with comparable providers. Among other things, the compact, programmable controller enables safe standstill monitoring, even with vertical and slow-moving axes, and also scores points with an anti-vibration toolbox for macro and micro vibrations.

For intralogistics

Whether mechanical engineering or intralogistics – wherever reliable standstill, speed, direction and position monitoring is required, the compact safety controller from Wieland Electric with up to 70 kHz motion inputs on the base module is suitable. The integrated motion function modules include safe standstill monitoring (SSM), which can be implemented with both a speed window and a position window. The limits of the position window or hysteresis can be defined very easily using intuitive configuration options, allowing vertical and slow-moving axes to be monitored reliably and continuously, for example in construction cranes, lifting platforms, high-bay warehouses or presses.

Saves space in the control cabinet and enables the monitoring of up to 100 limit values with its integrated motion functionality: the new samos PRO MOTION safety controller from Wieland Electric.

Also on board the samos PRO MOTION is an anti-vibration toolbox, which is available via the samos PLAN6 software and supports reliable standstill monitoring during commissioning, calibration, maintenance, cleaning or even tool changes. This is precisely where vibrations can occur, which can be resolved using the appropriate functions: While the “standstill” function module comes into play for macro vibrations, Wieland Electric has built a professional “vibration filter” into the motion functions for micro vibrations. This allows users to find the optimum compromise between availability and safety within the framework of three options. The documentation for the safety control is also helpful, as it provides a clear overview of which safety level can be achieved with which filter option. 

Key points

• Motion integrated in the base module for safe standstill, speed, direction and position monitoring.
• Intuitive parameterisation with 6 TÜV-certified motion function blocks (Standstill monitoring, Safe Direction, Safe Speed Range, Safe Limited Speed, Safe Minimum Speed & Safe Position Monitoring).
• Simple monitoring of vertical and slow-moving axes with configurable speed and position windows.
• High availability and safety despite vibrations.
• Increased safety level through redundancy and shaft break detection.
