Modular controller

Wieland Electric's samos NET is a new dedicated bus system designed for use in conjunction with the company's samos PRO to make machine and system interconnection simpler. samos PRO is a compact modular safety controller for machine and automation control with multifunctional base modules that are modularly interlinked, extending safety functions module by module.

Until now, with safety functions controlled by various distributed safety controls, consistent communication has only been possible via nonsafe field buses or Industrial Ethernet. The introduction of samos NET means safe signals can now be safely transmitted, processed and evaluated within a machine network via the samos NET bus system.
