Schneider Electric Safety PLCs

Schneider Electric Safety PLCs implement the control part of functional safety and are used to achieve functional safety control of machines and automated equipment. They monitor safety devices, perform safety logic, and control safety related outputs to prevent or mitigate hazards that can cause harm to people, damage equipment, or result in production downtime. These Safety controllers are used in applications where it is necessary to meet international safety standards such as IEC 62061, ISO 13849-1, and IEC 61508.

Schneider Electric Safety PLCs can integrate safety and standard control, offering great flexibility and increased performance. The integration of safety functions into a standard control architecture provides numerous advantages in terms of machine and process control. Connecting safety devices, such as emergency stops, safety light curtains, safety switches, encoders etc, to Schneider Electric Safety PLCs enables fast and safe detection of dangerous conditions. With Schneider Electric’s safety solutions, the designer of the machine has the ability to implement a safety architecture that is flexible and efficient, without having to compromise performance.
