The SLC284 is a high-integrity safety controller within the Bachmann M1 automation environment, designed to meet SIL3 and PL e safety standards. It operates as an independent safety processor, executing safety-related programs while maintaining high-speed synchronization with the standard functional controller.
With internal 1-out-of-2 (1oo2) redundancy, the SLC284 ensures that any internal hardware failure or logical inconsistency triggers a safe system shutdown, making it ideal for critical industrial safety applications.

The SLC284 allows consolidation of functional control and safety logic in a single M1 rack, while maintaining strict isolation of safety functions from standard process logic to prevent interference.
Q: Can the SLC284 be programmed using standard C++ or IEC 61131-3?
A: No. Programming must be done via the Bachmann Safety Editor, ensuring deterministic execution and compliance with safety standards.
Q: How does the SLC284 communicate with remote safety I/O?
A: It uses safety-certified protocols (e.g., Safety over EtherCAT or Bachmann Safety Bus) to maintain data integrity between the controller and decentralized safety modules.
