3.2 Application area of the device
The SOM-4E-0A-C1 is a decentralized output-module that safely controls actua-
tors on the AS-i Safety at Work (SaW) safety bus system.
In this set-up, a Safety Monitor or a Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor, re-
spectively, controls the SOM-4E-0A-C1.
A special characteristic of this module is its two different kinds of AS-i addresses:
•
Safe AS-i address
SOM-4E-0A-C1 listens to the communication on the safe address and
switches based on these data.
• Non-safety relevant AS-i address
The non-safety relevant AS-i address is used for diagnostic purposes and for
switching under PLC control.
All SaW output modules with the same safe AS-I address switch at the same
time.
The SOM-4E-0A-C1 is certified according to EN 62 061, SIL 3, and EN 13 849,
