SafetyNET p is suitable as a drive bus due to its real-time behaviour, with cycle times of up to 62.5 μs.
SafetyNET p is a registered trademark of Pilz GmbH & Co. KG and was presented in public for the first time in 2006.
In addition to its use as an Ethernet-based fieldbus, a key component in the application of SafetyNET p is the communication of data with a safety-related content.
SafetyNET p can be used anywhere that communicated data has to be consistent in terms of time and content, in order to safeguard against danger.
SafetyNET p RTFN is fully compatible with all IP-based Ethernet protocols and can be combined on the same medium.
In order to achieve the required performance, communication takes place in optimised Ethernet MAC frames.
SafetyNET p subscribers can pack miscellaneous IP-based traffic within an RTFL frame as part of real-time communication.
