The new SIB inductive sensors from BERNSTEIN offer two antivalent output signals (normally open and normally closed), which are monitored and compared by the safety controller. If the signals are no longer opposing, the fault is recognised and the system is safely switched off.
With a suitable safety controller that recognises sensor faults before the next request to the safety function and in compliance with the BMA, use in safety-relevant applications up to PL d/SIL 2 is possible.
– With suitable safety controller for requirements up to PL d / SIL 2
– Reduces the wiring effort
– Low acquisition costs
– Overall system becomes simpler and less complex
– Two antivalent output signals (normally open and normally closed)
