Safety PLC Integration Patterns

Safety automation modules featuring seamless integration with existing safety PLCs for enhanced system efficiency.

Plants do not want experimental safety architectures. They want a safety system that integrates cleanly with existing safety PLCs, safety relays, and downstream interlocks.

The integration question is simple: when SR-1 detects an entry into a defined zone, what output does the safety controller receive, and what does it do next?

A clean integration includes:

• Clearly defined safety outputs (stop / reduced speed / safe state)

• Deterministic behavior (same input → same result)

• Diagnostics and fault handling that drive safe behavior

• Commissioning steps that validate performance and document results

SR-1 is designed to integrate into standard safety architectures. You define:

• Which zones map to which safety outputs

• How outputs latch or reset (per risk assessment)

• What the cell does in each state (slow, stop, inhibit motion)

This approach keeps the safety function understandable for integrators and auditable for EHS.
