A 15 minute visit to Sick UK’s stand
at the Drives & Controls Show is a
safe bet for engineers wanting an
insight into new Functional Safety
regulations.

The company is holding regular
15-minute ‘walk-throughs’ of the new
machinery safety standards BS
EN13849-1 & 2 for Safety Related
Control Systems and the SISTEMA
software utility. Booking is advisable,
although not essential, and those who
pre-register for sessions at 11am, 1pm
and 3pm at http://bit.ly/z7ap5i will
be automatically entered into a daily
iPod Touch draw.

Sick will also unveil its Hiperface
DSL motor feedback interface
technology for encoders, along with
its first ethernet-based fieldbus
encoders for the AFS60 and AFM60
family of freely programmable
encoders, including Ethernet IP,
EtherCAT and ProfiNET
compatibility. Stand D1328
