Safe PLCnext Control Making wind turbines safe One specific field of application for a safety controller is, for example, the adjustment of the rotor blades of a wind turbine generator (pitch control). As part of the pitch control system, the current rotor blade position can be detected and, for example, transmitted to an RFC 4072S. The set point of the rotor blade position is calculated based, among other things, on the failsafe detection of the prevailing wind speed via an anemometer, which is then processed in the safety-oriented program of the RFC 4072S. If the wind speed exceeds a critical...

High-performance controller for IEC 61131-3 Reliable availability in a tunnel The RFC 460R PN 3TX is used in tunnel applications where maximum availability must be ensured for a central control unit. This can be achieved, for example, by physically separating the redundancy system. A separate PLC is installed at each end of the tunnel. The controllers are synchronized via a FO connection. This means that if a dangerous situation arises at one end of the tunnel, the other controller is not affected and takes over the reliable automation of the tunnel system. • High availability with integrated...
