The new Safety Basic Monitor SBM is a safe small control system that was specially developed for smaller applications. Four safe inputs and two safe outputs, which can be linked as desired, already offer everything needed to safeguard machines.

The SBM also includes all necessary AS-i functions to operate an AS-I bus. You can decide whether or not to use the device’s AS-i functionality on a case-by-case basis. There is a smooth transition between standard wiring and AS-i bus with the SBM. This makes it the ideal solution for the simple introduction of AS-Interface. The cost advantage also favors the SBM: The use of AS-Interface previously was not economical for smaller applications in most cases due to the cost of an AS-i system compared to conventional wiring. The SBM offsets this disadvantage. The SBM offers four safe inputs (or up to eight standard inputs), two safe outputs, AS-i master, AS-i monitor and AS-i network decoupling in a housing only 22.5 mm wide. This allows a complete AS-i system to be set up with just a Safety Basic Monitor.

Programming and configuration for the master, as well as the complete safety program, can be created and loaded using the ASIMON software. A PC can be connected to the Safety Basis Monitor via an integrated USB interface. The device data are redundantly stored on a separate chip card. This allows simple transfer of the data if the device is replaced. The AS-i Power24V technology supported by the Safety Basis Monitor can power up to ten EUCHNER AS-i safety switches without a separate AS-i power supply unit.
