Product Description

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.


Technical Specifications

Processor Architecture Redundant diverse processors (1oo2 internal redundancy)
Memory Retentive memory for safety variables and event logs
Cycle Time Deterministic, fast safety reaction times
Programming Bachmann Safety Editor (PLCopen Safety Function Blocks)
Interfaces Integrated safety-bus communication for decentralized safety I/O
Diagnostics Self-monitoring, hardware error detection

Safety Applications and Compliance

  • Wind turbine emergency shutdown and blade pitch safety

  • Crane safety management (over-speed, collision prevention)

  • Complex production line safeguarding (light curtains, safe brakes, speed monitoring)

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.


Frequently Asked Questions

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.
