Emerson PACSafe Integrated Safety Controller

Available from Control Logic is Emerson’s PACSafe Configurable Safety Controller for integrated Category 4, Performance Level e, SIL3 machine safety applications in the packaging, food and beverage, life sciences and manufacturing industries. With an extensive library of TÜV-certified SIL3 function blocks and icon-based, drag-and-drop configuration, the PACSafe controllers enable quick deployment and a safe state reaction time of 15 ms, so users do not have to choose between performance and flexibility.

Emerson’s PACSafe solutions easily scale from small to complex machines, with the intuitive graphical-based software, complete with an extensive library of TÜV-certified SIL3 function blocks. This can enable quick integration of e-stops, pull wire, interlock gates, optical sensors, two-hand controls, safety mats and many more safety devices. Available as standalone free software or integrated into the Emerson Machine Edition Automation platform, the software is complete with simulation tools, online monitoring and live diagnostics capabilities to provide quick system transparency.

The Din Rail expandable design allows up to a couple of hundred safety and non-safety I/O, with OSSD, dual relay safety outputs and configurable pin input output configuration. Choose from six different expansion models that ensure a scalable solution. The innovative LCD built-in display and diagnostics enable users to actively monitor system status to assist in troubleshooting and commissioning.

PACSafe Configurable Safety Controllers come with built-in Ethernet with support for PROFINET and Modbus/TCP protocols that provide industry automation device connectivity. With seamless safety control integration into Emerson’s industrial controls portfolio or VersaMax architectures, the PACSafe solution provides reduced safety control development and commissioning costs into new designs or an existing PACSystem. The PACSafe Configurable Safety Controllers enable users to unlock the full potential of control systems without compromising on operator safety.
