Techniques to simplify the design problem are critical enablers in this large sector of the machine building market, and this is the philosophy behind NUM's functional safety system, NUMSafe.
Based on the use of a dedicated safety PLC, NUMSafe is designed to reduce development complexity and the time required to implement ‘safe motion’ functions compliant with standards such as EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 62061.
Introduced as a build-to-order option for NUM’s latest-generation Flexium+ CNC platform, NUMSafe is a functional safety solution that can be scaled to suit the complexity of the machine control system. It includes a safety PLC, safety input and output (I/O) modules, digital servo drives with built-in safe motion monitoring facilities, and compatible brushless servo motors.
