Logic, Motion and Safety
 
The
combination of logic, motion, and safety in one environment provides the
user with a harmonized view to the overall application in one software
environment, for both the safety and the functional applications.
In practice this offers less educational efforts and simpler transfer of
knowledge and application software between different peoples as well as
different locations and controls. Also, it tackles the ‘not-invented-here
syndrome’, which is often a cause of errors and additional costs, in
particular in the safety application. By using pre-defined and tested
functionality, combined with support in the programming environment, one is
able to add the safety related aspects to the application programs for easy
commissioning. And that saves money.
This
activity provides examples of the combination of Logic, Motion, and Safety,
making it easier and more natural for the user to integrate safety in their
motion and logic application. Safety functionalities like mode selector,
safely reduced speed, and several stop functionalities, have a direct link
to the motion control application. However in practice different people are
responsible for these sections.
The
published document provides examples and guidance for the combination of the
different technologies.
