Safe Motion Profile for CIP Safety on sercos

On the occasion of the Hanover Trade Fair 2012, the user organization sercos international announces the development of a Safe Motion Profile for CIP Safety on sercos.

Safety of humans and machines is playing an increasingly vital role in the world of automation – machines and systems are becoming more complex while functional safety requirements are constantly on the rise. sercos international relies on CIP Safety as the functional safety protocol for sercos networks. To ensure the interoperability and compatibility of safety-related peripheral devices, such as controls, drives, and I/Os in cross-manufacturer systems, sercos international and ODVA agreed to jointly develop a Safe Motion Profile based on CIP Safety.
