B&R's Blackout mode enables high machine availability
The B&R drive technology portfolio now offers a Blackout mode. This enables safe machine control in the event of a network failure. Machine downtime can be avoided without costly redundancy solutions to ensure maximum machine availability.
The Blackout function enables the safe variants of B&R servo drives (ACOPOSmulti, ACOPOSmotor or ACOPOS P3) to continue operation in the event of a network failure. Safety functionality remains intact.
Controlled shutdown
Blackout mode allows configuration of simple safety sequences. Applications in lower-level systems continue execution even after a network failure. For example, axes can be brought to a stop or moved to a defined position.
