Clear presentation of the program structure

Simplifier Manager is clearly structured and allows you quick access to the individual programs of the Simplifiers.

Add your comments wherever necessary to make the program code easier to read and understand. Thus, future users can easily understand the programming which helps when modifying the program, if necessary.

Distribution of safety functions

In order to gain more clarity, safety functions can be arranged on different pages using memories. This simplifies the validation and programming of your application.

Validation and check of your application software

The Safety Simplifier Manager supports you during the creation of the validation documentation according to EN ISO 13849-2. The Project report contains safety related parameters like PFHd values and reaction times according to EN ISO 13849-1 for the Safety Simplifier System. Furthermore, it has a checksum for the project and for each page of the program. If you do any changes you only need to check the changed pages (= changed checksum) and the impact they have on the safety function. This saves a lot of time during safety inspections.

Online diagnosis & wireless programming

With the Simplifier Monitor connected to your computer, you have the access to the online mode and you can download the programs to each Safety Simplifier wirelessly.

In Online mode, you can see the ON and OFF state of all I/O:s (and individual function blocks) as well as the status of the communication between the Safety Simplifiers.

Total Synchronization

Generation 2 introduces a dynamic memory architecture that removes the limitations of fixed and isolated resources.

• Flexible allocation of 256 safety bits across up to 16 units
• No unused capacity – distribute resources where they are needed
• Full repeating of all safety data across the entire system

Benefit:
A fully synchronized system where all units share the same real-time information, improving stability and enabling balanced system design regardless of application complexity.

Data Points

To improve both safety and diagnostics, data is now separated into safe and non-safe signals.

• 256 safe bits + 256 diagnostic bits
• Clear separation between safety logic and system status

Benefit:
Full visibility of machine performance without overloading safety logic, enabling faster diagnostics and better operational insight.

PROFIsafe Integration

SimpleCAN enables seamless integration between Safety Simplifier systems and external safety networks.

• Connectivity to protocols such as PROFIsafe
• Supports connection of multiple systems and networks

Benefit:
Scalable system design, from individual machines to complete production lines, with reliable and efficient communication.

Black Channel Communication

Black Channel technology enables safe communication over non-safe networks, allowing safety signals to be transmitted securely over standard communication media.

• Safety communication over WiFi, 5G, Ethernet and other networks
• Secure transmission over non-safety-rated infrastructure

Benefit:
Full flexibility in choosing communication medium. You can use the network that best fits your application and existing infrastructure for communication between Safety Simplifiers – without compromising safety.

Digital Logging

Integrated logging functionality provides full traceability of system events.

• Continuous diagnostic logging to SD memory card
• Easy access to historical system data

Benefit:
Faster troubleshooting with clear event history, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.
