All-in-one monitoring

Among other things, the compact, programmable controller enables safe standstill monitoring, even with vertical and slow-moving axes, and also scores points with an anti-vibration toolbox for macro and micro vibrations.

Whether mechanical engineering or intralogistics – wherever reliable standstill, speed, direction and position monitoring is required, the compact safety controller from Wieland Electric with up to 70kHz motion inputs on the base module is suitable. The integrated motion function modules include safe standstill monitoring (SSM), which can be implemented with both a speed window and a position window. The limits of the position window or hysteresis can be defined very easily using intuitive configuration options, allowing vertical and slow-moving axes to be monitored reliably and continuously, for example in construction cranes, lifting platforms, high-bay warehouses or presses.

Also on board the samos PRO MOTION is an anti-vibration toolbox, which is available via the samos PLAN6 software and supports reliable standstill monitoring during commissioning, calibration, maintenance, cleaning or even tool changes. This is precisely where vibrations can occur, which can be resolved using the appropriate functions: While the 'standstill' function module comes into play for macro vibrations, Wieland Electric has built a professional 'vibration filter' into the motion functions for micro vibrations. This allows users to find the optimum compromise between availability and safety within the framework of three options. The documentation for the safety control is also helpful, as it provides a clear overview of which safety level can be achieved with which filter option.

As with the samos PRO safety controller, Wieland Electric also offers powerful programming software for the new samos PRO MOTION. The intuitive samos PLAN6 configuration tool has an extensive library of TÜV-certified function blocks that contain typical, application-specific safety functions. The simple handling via drag & drop significantly reduces engineering effort, project planning time and also the possibility of errors. Users also benefit from simple documentation and save time with the CE declaration of the machine. With the integrated one-click documentation, the documents for the CE declaration of conformity are available at the touch of a button, saving time in the approval process.
