SafetyBUS p


SafetyBUS p is a safe, open field bus system for decentralised networking of safety directed applications. Today, with over 200,000 knots, SafetyBUS p is a well proven system for many different applications and branches. A great number of users profit daily from its economical advantages.



The advantages at a glance:

  • Quick reaction time with event-driven transmission.
  • Safe, non-reactive communication between safety oriented functions and standard automation.
  • Low shut down period due to safe group disconnection.
  • Integration significant diagnosis
  • Open connection to all conventional, standard field bus systems.
  • Low amount of cabling with decentralised control structures
  • High flexibility with plant options
  • Clearly arranged, intelligent network structure.
  • Simple to program and install with reduced software components
  • Maximum, standardised safety.

Fast reaction times due to event-driven transmission

SafetyBUS p functions in an event-driven manner. This means information is only sent, when there is a change of state at the central or decentralised input/output or at the bus participant. For this reason SafetyBUS p is particularly good for plant networks with varying message frequency and high reaction time demands.

Safe, non-reactive communication

With SafetyBUS p the relevant safety signals are transmitted through the standard control process in the form of physically and logically separated information. The plant’s standard automation process has therefore no effect on the safety functions – this is crucial in the case of an emergency.

Low shut down periods due to safe group disconnection

Sensors and actuators are tied to the SafetyBUS p safety control system through decentralised input/output modules. During application, logically connected plant components can be configured as a group and in the event of a fault, cut off separately. The remaining production process continues to run.

Maximum, standardised safety

SafetyBUS p is approved by the Government Safety Organisation to category 4 after EN 954-1, EN 60204, EN IEC 62061, according to TÜV after AK 6 DIN V 19250, SIL 3 after EN IEC 61508 and NFPA 79. This guarantees unlimited use in safety applications. The safe, open bus system fulfils the EMV stipulations in the BWS standard EN 61496-1 and is the first safety oriented SEMI standard for sensor bus technology in semi-conductor technology, enclosed in suite E54.
