Safety PLCs provide the same functionality of traditional safety relays, but offer space savings and improved communications, while also providing the safety levels needed for mashine safety. Safety PLCs can provide a greater concentration of safety I/O in a smaller footprint than safety relays, saving control panel space and related wiring. All from emergency stops to light curtains to zero speed control, are provided in safety-certified function blocks.
