Safety Master Stack
The TEConcept IO-Link Safety Master Stack offers a simple way to extend an existing IO-Link Master to an IO-Link Safety Master. The regular IO-Link Master, as part of the IO-Link Black Channel, only requires minor adjustments (e.g., for ready pulses) but does not contain any safety-relevant elements itself.
Functional Description
The FSCP (Functional Safety Communication Profile) Gateway exchanges safety-relevant process data with the IO-Link Safety Communication Layer (SCL) and the associated Safety Layer Manager (SLM). For SIL3 support, it is strongly recommended to implement SLM and SCL redundantly in two channels.
A Fieldbus Gateway is added to exchange non-safe process data as well as configuration and status information.
SMI Handler and Splitter Composer are extensions of the IO-Link Black Channel and are responsible for routing SMI services and processing safe and non-safe process data.
The TEConcept solution of the IO-Link Safety Master Stack supports multiple architectures. It allows the reuse of an existing IO-Link Master with SMI support, but also architectures where the IO-Link Master and Fieldbus Gateways use the same MCU.
Features
- SMI communication between modules
- Module certification by a notified body in preparation
- Support for IO-Link / IO-Link FS V1.1.5
Advantages
- Reuse of existing IO-Link Master architectures with SMI interface
- Clear separation between safe and non-safe components
- Hardware-independent implementation
- Simplified evaluation of the IO-Link FS Master by using a pre-certified software module
Limitations
OSSDe requires support for Legacy FS-DI or FS-DO
Scope of Delivery
- Pre-certified IO-Link Safety Master Stack
- Quality Manual
- Master Tool Windows application (for development purposes) with Device Tool interface
- Development support (optional)
