In today’s market, increased machine safety is a requirement. Making the integration of such safety fast and easy is a benefit. For some time, there’s been a gap in the safety devices and systems market between basic hardwired relays and safety programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in larger installations. This midrange has now been filled by configurable safety controllers (CSCs).
In this recent article in Industrial Equipment News, Emerson’s Darrell Halterman talks about todays “spectrum of safety” and how configurable safety controllers have evolved to make safety systems convenient and affordable for more applications.
What type of safety systems do you employ? Have you used CSCs?
