Moore Industries SSX and SST safety isolators and splitters
08 August, 2013The SSX (2-wire loop-powered) and SST (4-wire) safety isolators and splitters provide reliable isolation and signal conversion for HART data in functionally safe process control settings.
Building a bridge to safety: automation safety over a non-safe industrial network
26 March, 2013 by Zachary Stank, Phoenix ContactSafety in today’s market has come a long way from the simple, single-function safety relays of the past. Now engineers are left to question which is best for the efficient implementation of the prevailing safety requirements in their process: programmable, network-enabled safety controllers or spatially limited, configurable safety relays?
Allen-Bradley Guard I/O range
27 May, 2012Guard I/O can be used with any safety controller that communicates on DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP networks.
Fieldbus safety valve controller
01 December, 2008The Neles ValvGuard VG9000F for Foundation Fieldbus is claimed to be the first TÜV-approved (SIL3) Foundation Fieldbus (FF) safety valve controller to appear on the market. It combines the benefits of FF communication with the Neles ESD valve range to provide a new level of integrity and safety.

Safety fieldbus in the process industries
19 March, 2008As end users discover the benefits of fieldbus with their process automation systems, many are beginning to wonder why they haven't been able to enjoy similar benefits with their safety instrumented systems (SIS)
Safety controller
20 August, 2007Omron's NE1A safety DeviceNet controller is claimed to be the world's first programmable safety controller with a built-in DeviceNet safety interface.
Safety instrumented system
06 October, 2006Yokogawa Electric Corporation has added an optical remote control function to the ProSafe-RS, enabling integration of the instrument panel rooms and safety systems in large plants. Compatibility with Yokogawa's Centum CS3000 R3 Integrated Production Control System is also improved for greater usability.
