Modular hardware for your safety-development

In the area of hardware components, the toolkit includes powerful platforms for safe sensors, actuators and controllers in the Small, Compact and Performance versions.

The portfolio is complemented by designs for digital inputs and outputs,
analogue inputs and encoder interfaces.

• Small - Small Safety Controller
  
  Small refers to our cost-effective safety hardware platform developed for integration into safety-related hardware such as safe sensors or actuators.
  
  
• Compact - Compact Safety Controller
  
  The compact safety-related hardware with 1oo2 architecture was developed to offer compact hardware with the usual high product quality from Neuron Automation.
  
  
• Performance - High-End Safety Controller
  
  Our performance hardware module is designed for use as a high-end safety PLC or safe robotics controller. The two-channel architecture is realised by a multicore ARM processor in combination with an intelligent watchdog.

Ultimate flexibility in engineering

In times of scarce resources, innovative technologies are essential.

At Neuron Automation, we pursue an entirely new engineering concept: We combine safe and non-safe applications as well as libraries from IEC languages and C/C++ in a seamless development environment.

To enable the parallel programming of safety functions alongside applications, it integrates a pre-certified safety toolchain that supports the engineering of safety functions up to SIL 3 according to IEC 61508, PLE according to ISO 13849, and ASIL C according to ISO 26262.

The combination with our runtime systems enables fast, flexible and efficient programming of functionally safe control applications.

Engineering Tools

• Neuron Power Engineer
  Neuron Power Engineer is the current engineering tool for development of safe and non-safe applications. Furthermore, it is used to develop and test reusable libraries. It satisfies the needs of developers and automation engineers alike.
  
  
• Neuron Smart Engineer
  Neuron Smart Engineer is the next generation of engineering tools. Built on the proven and platform independent backend of the Neuron Power Engineer, it provides a modern and intuitive web-based front end to cater to an even broader range of users from developers and automation engineers to safety engineers and maintenance technicians.

Runtimes

With our runtime system variants, we offer an easily integrable, flexible Soft-PLC.

The solutions built on top of it range from simple applications on cost-effective microcontrollers to PLC networks processing millions of data points in real-time. Cloud-based and virtualized programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are also possible.
