Siemens offers Safe Speed Monitoring up to SIL 3 / PL e

The safety standard EN 60204 "Safety of Machinery - Electrical Equipment of Machines" and the respective C standards call for safe speed monitoring for some applications. Therefore, an additional evaluation device is required for converters which do not feature a safe speed monitoring function. The 3TK2810-1 is the first corresponding device for Siemens Industry.

 

 

 

  • - Safe speed monitoring in accordance with SIL 3 (IEC 61508) or PL e (ISO13849-1)
  • - Evaluation of proximity switches and encoders
  • - Evaluation of frequencies between 1 Hz and 400 kHz
  • - Spring-force-interlocked protective door monitoring
  • - Screw-type and spring-loaded connection versions
  • - Global availability

 

The safe 3TK2810-1 device for speed monitoring facilitates simultaneous monitoring of standstill, set-up and automatic speed. Furthermore, the device features a function for spring-force interlocked protective door monitoring. For more information, click here.
