Advances in technology are changing the way almost every industry operates. To remain competitive in the market, manufacturers are constantly looking for the latest and greatest innovations, strategies and systems. The increasing demand for IoT solutions like accessible information at all levels, predictive and preventive maintenance, mobile and cloud solutions, security, seamless integration, plug & play etc. are often expensive and complex.

The SPLC 1000 was developed as a dedicated safety controller mainly used in a distributed safety system. The new module uses the black channel principle to communicate with other Profisafe devices. This safety controller can be seamlessly integrated into the PLCnext-Technology open ecosystem.

To achieve complete, standard-compliant electrical engineering for a control panel, you have to go through many steps. Electrical engineering is versatile and complex, and can therefore take up a great deal of time. Unless you perform the electrical engineering digitally, with Control Panel Design in the TIA Selection Tool.

Validation processes during the engineering phase are expensive. Individual components must be on site and connected together. In some cases, the components must be delivered specifically for testing or retrieved from storage locations. The simulation software SIRIUS Sim greatly simplifies the process by virtualizing the applications.
