Challenge
Increasing demand for smart
automation solutions
The advancement of technology is placing greater pressure on industry and machine building.
It is not only high-end applications that are impacted, but there is also a growing demand for
cutting-edge technology to enhance productivity in simpler automation solutions. This requires
a well-coordinated automation system that minimizes complexity and is optimized for cost efficiency
over the entire life cycle.
Challenges and Productivity Flexibility Cost-optimization
Technological advancements Versatile customer requirements Legal regulations (such as machine
opportunities require constant improvements demand scalable and flexible safety) must be met without driving
and state-of-the-art technology automation solutions up costs or compromising
productivity

1oo1 (One out of One):
1oo1 as simple redundancy, a single input connected to a fail-safe digital input
1oo2 (One out of Two):
Redundancy with cross-diagnosis: There are two independent sensors, each connected to an F-DI. Both
sensors provide signals to the F-DI. The F-DI monitors the signals and makes decisions based on both inputs.
This configuration is normally used in safety-critical applications
Vs: Integrated Sensor supply,
allows to detect short-circuit or overload scenarios, and react accordingly
