Today, safe bus systems such as SafetyBUS p are used worldwide in a wide range of industries and applications. The list below represents only a selection.
Automotive industry
The automotive industry uses SafetyBUS p tosafeguard and control presses. Applications range from small standalone presses to multi-stage transfer presses, demanding the very highest safety and performance requirements of a safety bus. Even on the conveyor technology, where the safety and reaction time requirements are not so high, safety-related fi eldbuses are used to collect widely distributed, safe I/O signals such as E-STOPs. Robot cells are frequently found in the automotive industry and normally require safety gates, light curtains and E-STOP pushbuttons as safety equipment. With SafetyBUS p, multiple robot cells can be networked together and monitored via a safety control system.

Airports contain baggage handling and conveying technology applications in which long distances have to be covered. Safety-related equipment such as E-STOP push buttons and grab wires are distributed across the whole route. SafetyBUS p collects the safety-related signals and makes them available to the safety control system, which shuts down the drives safely if necessary.
Passenger transportation
SafetyBUS p is also used for communication on cable cars: Safety-related signals are exchanged between the mountain and valley stations and signals are collected en route. Wireless or fiber-optic communication is used to cover the long distances.
