Easy implementation of safety functions

B&R is simplifying the implementation of safety functions on mobile machinery by equipping its X90 safety
controllers with the CAN open Safety protocol.
CAN open Safety provides secure data transfer in accordance with SIL 2, fulfilling a significant requirement
for machine safety certification.
Direct, safe connection of external devices
CAN open Safety is available via a simple software update and requires no new control hardware. Following
the software update, CAN open Safety devices such as joysticks can be connected directly to existing B&R
X90 controllers.
Devices connected via CAN open Safety are configured in the Automation Studio engineering environment.
With the ready-made software components provided by B&R, there is no traditional programming work to be
done.
