SFM-C02 AS-Interface Safety Monitor

The ASi Bus is a reliable way to implement safety devices on a communication bus. It can also be used to reliably activate outputs, such as locking solenoids. Data from all connected devices is transmitted through a two-wire cable to a safety controller. This will turn off hazardous machine functions in the event of an unsafe condition. A Windows compatible software package is available for easy configuration, monitoring and diagnostics. Single and multiple bus interface modules are also available. Many Euchner products can be purchased with an ASi interface. This reduces the time for assembly, installation, testing and downtime. The SFM-C02 is a small, freely programmable, safe control system that can collect all safe signals using the AS-Interface bus. The new SFM expands the possible bus applications as two AS-Interface circuits can be connected to one monitor. Emergency stop functions are safely and straightforwardly passed from one AS-Interface circuit to the next. Alternatively, the safe outputs can also be released on one AS-Interface bus. The new programming software ASiMon 3 also simplifies operation considerably.
