IoT

One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec

At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.

Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.

Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

FuSa Application-Ready Platform New

Specifications

Industrial Box PC, pre-certified acc. IEC 61508
Modular and universal safety control up to SIL3 / PLe, Kat4
Communication via FSoE (Fail Safe over EtherCAT)

Pre-certified FuSa Application-Ready Platform according to IEC 61508 up to SIL 3

Kontron is expanding its portfolio with a modular and universal safety controller up to SIL Level 3 or PLe, Cat4 in the form of an M.2 2242 FuSa (Functional Safety) expansion card. It contains pre-configured safety functions and can be integrated into a wide variety of computer platforms. For this purpose, Kontron offers an industrial PC pre-certified according to IEC 61508 as an Application-Ready Platform for application-specific solutions, primarily targeted for large OEMs. This way, the controller (IPC) and safety (integrated FuSa expansion card) merge to form a system-open, space-saving and modularly expandable safety controller.

All safety-related functions are implemented in the tiny M.2 FuSa expansion card in the 2242 form factor (22 x 42mm) with Key B and M. The card can be integrated into a wide range of host systems and allows the communication with external Safe EtherCAT devices via FSoE (Fail Safe over EtherCAT) using a so-called "Black Channel". An EtherCAT master on the host system also enables the joint communication of non-safety-related and safety-related data via a single cable connection.

The industrial PC manages the communication via the EtherCAT master; in doing so, the entire remaining computing power can be made available, for example, for other non-safety-related control applications or data processing. This provides a high degree of system integration and an individual safety control system can be implemented in the smallest possible space, in effect without any additional installation space. The already integrated logical links and safety functions can be easily configured via a PC tool. This also supports network configuration, configuration management, user management, commissioning, troubleshooting and diagnostics.
