Safe Drive Technology

The SIGMATEK DIAS Drives have Safety functions (SIL 3) according to EN ISO 13849 (Performance-Level “e”). In the various DIAS Drives component series, common Safety functions such as Safe Stop 1 (SS1) or Safe Torque Off (STO) are integrated. Additional functions such as Safe Operating Stop (SOS), Safety Limited Speed (SLS) or Safe Direction (SDI) are in development.

Like the Motion Control functions, the Safety functions of the DIAS Drives are completely integrated into the SIGMATEK control architecture. Safety-related data is exchanged over the Ethernet-based, hard real-time capable VARAN bus using the "Black Channel" principle.

This consistency of the Safety controller, I/Os, drives and software allows the user to simply and economically develop projects and program the machine.
