DOLD Multifunctional safety solutions: SAFEMASTER C

DOLD Safemaster M system overview.

With the multi-functional safety system SAFEMASTER M and its simple assembly, you are equipped for your safety applications in machine and equipment manufacturing. The central control unit, which is equipped with safety inputs and safety output with 3 contact paths can be flexibly expanded depending on use with up to three input modules (to the left of the control unit) and up to three output modules (to the right of the control unit) via a ribbon cable. Thus the SAFEMASTER M is the optimal solution for scalable machines and equipment, for example for the paper and printing industry, molding technology, the packaging industry or the recycling industry, and can be adapted to future requirements. The SAFEMASTER M safety system can be connected to the existing automation solution using an optional field bus module. System status is visualized and enables an easy diagnosis.

Minimal configuration:
The control unit is the entry point of the SAFEMASTER M system. This unit alone can monitor 2 emergency off buttons (1 channel) or 1 emergency off button and a touchless protective unit (2 channel) 3 safety-oriented contact paths and 2 semiconductor monitoring outputs are also available.
Maximum configuration:
SAFEMASTER M is an expandable, scalable and multi-functional safety system. In the maximum configuration it includes the control unit, 3 input and 3 output modules as well as a field bus module. Thus the system offers up to 26 inputs for emergency off buttons, light grids, safety doors or two hand buttons and up to 15 safety-oriented contact paths.

Your safety is simply configured in 3 steps with Dold Safemaster M.

Configure the TÜV certified SAFEMASTER M safety system quickly and easily using DIP and rotary switches and adapt your SAFEMASTER M to your safety application. The individual units of the SAFEMASTER M system are connected to each other with ribbon cables. Additional inputs are powered by the control unit via the ribbon cable, reducing hard wiring expenses. SAFEMASTER M is flexibly adapted to your requirements by adding input and output modules. The modularity concept is further reinforced by the multi-functionality of the input modules. The inputs are assigned to the desired functions via rotary switch for a spectrum of safety functions.The assignment of inputs to outputs as well as the links to up to 4 start buttons is done most easily by DIP switch on the relevant input module. Every input module can also act on one or more output expansions or even on the outputs of the control unit. Thus groups or hierarchies can be formed flexibly, completely without software.

DOLD Safemaster M - forming groups and hierarchies

Multifunctional and easy to adjust.
With SAFEMASTER M, you can easily and simply configure the safety infrastructure of your system. Using the DIP switch you can determine which actors are served by the connected safety sensors and which are not. The inputs can be flexibly assigned to the outputs of the central control unit and/or to one to three output expansions, whatever your application requires.

Individual safety solution made-to-measure.
SAFEMASTER M can form groups and hierarchies within your facility, which make your process not only safer, but also more efficient. SAFEMASTER M performs the function of a small safety PLC. Through “switch programming”, not only are the inputs assigned to the outputs, but also up to 4 start switches are assigned to the safety functions, all without software. On the output side too, the multifunctional SAFEMASTER M system offers the highest degree of flexibility. In addition to designs with up to 4 safety oriented contact paths, there are also release delayed output expansions available with delay times of up to 20 seconds. SAFEMASTER M is thus perfectly adapted to your safety solution.

Configure your system individually in zones with DOLD Safemaster.

An industrial system typically consists of multiple units or zones. If an emergency situation occurs or a safety function is triggered, the entire system may be affected – or only individual safety zones. The complete system does not always have to be shut down. SAFEMASTER M offers an efficient solution to this with flexible assignment of inputs to outputs, even without the use of complex programmable systems. In addition, SAFEMASTER M can be optimally combined with the SAFEMASTER STS safety switch and key transfer system. Maintenance and safety doors of separating protective equipment are secured with the switches and solenoid guard locks of the SAFEMASTER STS system, while the monitoring of light barriers and emergency off switches is done by SAFEMASTER M.
