Harnessing the power of safety and operational data can substantially improve safety compliance and performance.
Accessing safety system data and transforming it into meaningful information results in increased machinery productivity and minimises downtime.
To gain more diagnostic data, traditional safety devices required more complex wiring solutions. With a SMART Safety solution, you can now access more diagnostic data and simplify your wiring system. An integrated SMART Safety solution provides all the data needed to create a comprehensive picture of the status of the machine or production line.
Benefits of SMART Safety

Challenges to Safety
Worker behaviours
The number 1 reason for safety system failures is that the solution is bypassed.
Evolving workforce
A major workforce shift is underway worldwide, and the safety implications are significant.
Machinery stoppages
Companies often have minimal visibility into why or when machinery stoppages occur.
Regulatory compliance
Compliance with complex global safety standards is increasingly essential but also challenging.
Emerging technologies
Advanced safety technologies enable companies to address safety & productivity in new ways,
Data management
Outdated data collection and reporting methods. Manual entry of safety data for logs, reports, etc.

Software
GuardLink Device Level Safety Network
GuardLink is a low level network providing device level diagnostics for safety components. It helps simplify safety networks when using safety devices that do not have EtherNet/IP connection. It offers increased diagnostic information to traditional hard wired systems and is a modular Plug-and-Play network requiring no configuration.
GuardLogix 5580 Safety ControllerThe GuardLogix 5580 safety controller integrates high-performance standards and safety control in the same controller and is programmed using Studio 5000 design environment. It offers scalability in performance and use as the primary controller (used without a partner) and is certified for use up to SIL2/PLd. With a safety partner, the controller is certified for SIL3/PLe use. |
Drives & Motors
Safety options can help reduce machine downtime and increase productivity. To help you protect both your personnel and equipment, a variety of PowerFlexR drives are available with safety features. The PowerFlex 525 AC drives include embedded Safe Torque-Off as a standard feature. Safe Torque-Off is an optional feature for the PowerFlex 40P, 70, 700H, 700S, and 750-Series AC drives, which also support Safe Speed Monitor functionality. Additionally, you can configure drives without a safety option using the MSR57P Safety Relay.
