A manufacturer of pharmaceutical-optical products wanted to expand his production by installing several new manufacturing units. In this case, the signal exchange between the different units should be ensured via an internal fail-safe network. The task was challenging, but resolvable. You just have to be open-minded for a technology that is still quite unusual in this field: fibre-optic cables for the internal communication.
Simply putting a plant “on hold” instead of shutting it off, restarting production faster while taking all safety precautions – this is possible with a network of fibre optics and Siemens fail-safe control. In the pharmaceutical and chemical production, but also in the beverage, agricultural and cosmetics industry, the problem is known and feared. If e.g. a solvent is escaping and there is a risk of fire, the emergency stop button is pressed.
