Further information on safety technology

Efficient safety solution for light grid applications
The new contact extension device enables safety-oriented OSSD signals from a light grid to be further processed as floating contacts. As such, the safety-related circuits can be created up to PL e.
SafetyBridge technology can now be used in even more standard control systems
A new integration package now allows integration into standard control systems from Siemens and Rockwell/Allen-Bradley. This makes it even easier for you to integrate the flexible SafetyBridge Technology in your application.
Implement PL and SIL correctly - with the new data sheet on safety characteristics
In consequence of the standards EN ISO 13849 and IEC 62061, the “Safety characteristics” data sheet has been adapted for use in safety-related applications.
New edition of the application manual for safety relays
The application manuals for our PSR safety relays have been revised in line with the EN ISO 13849 and IEC 62061 standards.
First safety app for functional safety - download free now
An optimal tool for machine builders and Machinery Directive and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 users: the safety app from Phoenix Contact is now available for free in the App Store.
Safety relay for SIL 3 and PL e now available in an additional range of voltages:
The two-channel safety relay that can be used universally for safety hold and safety door monitoring is now also available for various supply voltages. It is suitable for applications up to SIL 3 and Cat. 4, PL e.
DIN EN ISO 13849 replaces EN ISO 954: Important information for those responsible for functional safety
At the end of 2011, DIN EN 954 will cease to be harmonized with the Machinery Directive. This means that you should familiarize yourself with the upcoming changes now. We'll be happy to support you during the transition.
E-Learning about safety technology
Our new E-learning program introduces you to the basics of safety technology and highlights how Phoenix Contact can assist you in implementing your safety application in a safe, fast and efficient manner.
Rediscover safety - with the PSR-TRISAFE starter kit!
Experience how easy flexible safety technology is - with the PSR-TRISAFE starter kit. Take a step towards the flexibly configurable safety module.
Configuring safety functions for machines easily
This example of a photoelectric barrier on a depalletizer shows how easy it is to configure safety functions for machines using PSR-TRISAFE.
Animation: How do positively driven relay contacts function?
Dangerous errors, such as the welding of contacts, are reliably detected by positively driven relay contacts in safety devices. Our animations explain how this functions.
Interactive determination of the safety integrity level (SIL)
If complex, electronic components are used in the functional safety, the SIL class is determined for each safety function in accordance with EN IEC 62061, which indicates the degree of safety integrity.
Interactive determination of the performance level (PL)
In terms of system and machine safety, the performance level is determined for each safety function in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1, which indicates the probability of failure. Here you are able to interactively determine the performance level.
