SIB 061: Safety Elements Decentrally Connect

With the Safety Input Box SIB 061 from SIGMATEK, Safety-oriented elements can be connected directly to the machine or system. Equipped with six digital Safety inputs (3 mA/24 V DC/0.5 ms), the signals from up to three command and signaling devices (2-channel) can be read decentrally. The SIB 061, in combination with a SIGMATEK Safety controller, is designed for the highest Safety requirements and TÜV-certified (SIL 3/PL e, Cat. 4).

The compact Safety Input box can be easily mounted – whether directly in the machine, an operating console or on the back of the ETT multi-touch operating panels. Input signals from Safety elements such as emergency stop, confirmation button, mode selection switch and key switch can be decentrally collected and transmitted to the S-DIAS Safety CPU in the control cabinet using only a 2-wire cable. The SIB 061 communicates with the Safety CPU over a Safety-oriented 2-wire bus according to the "Black Channel" principle.

Status LEDs directly next to the channel provide clear identification. To test the inputs and detect crossed circuits, two non-Safe signal outputs are provided.

The decentralized bundling of Safety signals directly on the operating site has significant advantages: minimized wiring, reduced costs and more clarity.

The Safety-oriented application can be easily programmed and configured with the LASAL Safety Designer. Logic connections and I/O configurations can therefore be quickly and comfortably implemented.
