2.1 Method of operation and structure of the
PSR-TRISAFE-S safety system
The overall system:
Hardware and software
The PSR-TRISAFE-S safety system consists of the following components:
– PSR-TRISAFE-S safety module
– SAFECONF configuration software
– Suitable safe control devices, sensors, and actuators (depending on the application)
The PSR-TRISAFE-S safety module is designed for monitoring and evaluating safety-
related control devices in machines and systems (see "Intended use" on page 1-7). The
safety module monitors safe control devices and safety sensors connected at its inputs,
evaluates the incoming signals according to its configuration, and controls the outputs
accordingly.
The SAFECONF configuration software is used to configure the PSR-TRISAFE-S safety
module and therefore provides the relevant editors as well as suitable startup and
diagnostic tools.
The diagram below illustrates the overall system in an application example.
