Determining a safe absolute position usually requires using highly complex technology. Pepperl+Fuchs<\/a><\/strong> offers much simpler solutions for this process, which are based on a combination of the new PUS evaluation unit with the safePXV or WCS sensors. Safety functions (SF) complying with SIL 3 and PL e can therefore be achieved with minimal integration effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The safePXV non-contact absolute positioning system only requires one camera-supported sensor since it provides intrinsic redundancy through multicoloured Data Matrix codes. For linear-guided applications such as monorail conveyors and automated storage and retrieval systems, it offers positioning with millimetre precision over tracks up to 10 kilometres in length.<\/p>\n\n\n

WCS position encoding system with evaluation unit for safe absolute positioning in outdoor areas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The rugged WCS position encoding system for absolute positioning in outdoor areas uses a stainless steel code rail with recesses. In the safe version, two U-shaped read heads monitor this rail and ensure reliable detection along track distances of up to 314.5 metres, even in adverse conditions such as those found when operating port cranes. <\/p>\n\n\n

The redundant signals from the sensors are processed and evaluated by the PUS-F161-B safe evaluation unit via two channels. The device acts as a gateway to the fieldbus. It generates a safe position value (SafePos SF), which it can also use to determine a safely monitored speed (SafeSpeed SF). Applications that integrate the sensors and the evaluation unit are certified according to IEC 61508 for SIL 3 and according to EN 13849 for PL e. They enable quick and easy commissioning through pre-certification and pre-configuration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
