Safe fieldbus communication with SafetyBUS p®

The function and application of a safe fieldbus is explained below, using the popular safety-related fieldbus system SafetyBUS p as an example.

 

SafetyBUS p system description
SafetyBUS p is a communication standard for the implementation of safety-related applications in industrial automation technology. SafetyBUS p has been proven in thousands of applications since its launch in 1999. The system is used exclusively for the communication of safety-related data. The underlying communication is based on the CAN communication standard. The physical properties on SafetyBUS p, such as the linear bus structure, maximum cable runs and number of subscribers, are the same as on CAN. A wide range of devices
are now available for connection to SafetyBUS p. These include safety control systems, digital inputs and outputs, light curtains and drives. Structural components such as routers, bridges and active junctions are available for flexible network configurations.
