Micro Automation Set 7:
Safety-integrated switching in the AS-Interface network

Safe switching using the AS-Interface Safety Monitor and evaluation in a SIMATIC S7-200 via the AS-Interface master

The Micro Automation Set is especially suited for automation tasks with individual actuators and sensors used in a distributed architecture in conjunction with safety-related functions.

• Production lines
• Production systems
• Conveyor and warehouse systems
• Machining systems
• Casting plants
• Process control
• Ideally suited for automation tasks with individual actuators and sensors used in a distributed architecture in conjunction with safety-related functions

Highlights

• The Safety Monitor permits low-cost, safe switching with the possibility to use the S7-200 Micro PLC connected to the AS-Interface bus. This means that low level actuators and sensors in the field can be simply networked in an ideal fashion, and can also be effectively shut down in time-critical, dangerous situations.
• The safety circuit is directly integrated into the AS-Interface network without added wiring. This sets it apart from comparable applications – where special wiring is required for emergency stop and limit switches.
• The safety-related functions can be processed together with standard functions, all on one bus.
• Integration of safety signals into plant diagnostics is no problem thanks to the AS-i Wizard of MicroWin.
