STW Showcases Safety Controllers at MINExpo 2016 at Booth 26245

NORCROSS, Ga. - Sept. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- STW Technic, a premier manufacturer of mobile controllers and measurement technology will be showcasing a multitude of safety controllers at MINEXPO 2016, Las Vegas, Nevada, September 26-28, Booth 26245. Functional Safety Controllers from STW provide a fully integrated, highly flexible, SIL 2 certified software and hardware package for off-highway applications.

In keeping with the focus on safety at MIEXpo, STW is showcasing a range of functional safety controllers. Functional Safety Controllers from STW Technic, a premier manufacturer of mobile controllers and measurement technology, provide a fully integrated, highly flexible, SIL 2 certified software and hardware package for off-highway applications. Mobile machines today have to fulfill a myriad of complex functions. In order to minimize risk, engineers need to incorporate safety-related conditions from EN13849 and IEC61508. The resulting increased complexity in the application software directly increases the development effort, since it must also be ensured that the non-safety software functions do not adversely affect the safety related functions. The IEC61508-3 describes methods to control the possibility of negative impacts on the safety and so minimize the certification effort for the non-safety software components.

STW is offering engineers a comprehensive functional safety control solution that is fully integrated and SIL2 certified but also highly flexible. The development and maintenance of a safety-relevant software application is made possible thanks to memory protection mechanisms and that clearly separate safety and non-safety functions. By allowing non-safety functions to be safely separated and developed, STW's solution enables a much more cost-effective development process.

STW's safety solution is the first SIL2 certified package for CoDeSys V3. A detailed safety manual clearly outlines the steps necessary to develop within the requirements of SIL2 and PLd.
