WINDHOFF, a company specializing in rail maintenance, is supplying 21 maintenance vehicles to the Norwegian infrastructure operator, BaneNor.

A central customer requirement is to save costs through the targeted use of generic control components in safety-relevant applications. Another important milestone in terms of an efficient safety offering has now been reached.
The modules of the new Smartio® MAS 3xx, MAS 83x and MAS 73x can now be used for safety-relevant applications according to SIL 2. The corresponding certificate according to EN 61508, DIN EN 50129, DIN EN 50128 and EN 50159 – issued by TÜV NORD – is available.
With cost-optimized signal acquisition, Selectron is continuing the current trend in the Smartio® control system.
In particular, the connection technology for analog signals, which is used in the tightest of spaces, always represents a challenge as well as offering new possibilities.
By cleverly combining an existing analog module, new connection terminal blocks and extending the user library, an impressive way has been found to easily implement temperature measurement and meet the wishes of various customers with this user benefit.
ULib1131-T is the name of the new user library.
It offers a large number of software functions that have already been qualified and prepared by Selectron for frequent use.
Qualified software function blocks are now also available for safety-related applications.
This avoids programming errors, establishes safety for passengers, simplifies vehicle registration and saves costs.
