Description
Product Overview
The B&R 5AP981.1505-01 is an advanced safety input module designed for high-reliability functional safety systems within B&R Automation’s X20 and EPIC® platforms. Engineered to SIL 3 (IEC 61508) and PL e (ISO 13849) standards, this module integrates 8 dual-channel safety inputs with cross-circuit monitoring for emergency stop circuits, safety gates, and light curtains. The B&R 5AP981.1505-01 supports diverse sensor types (NAMUR, mechanical contacts, solid-state) with configurable pulse extension and filter times down to 2 ms. Its galvanic isolation (500V AC) and built-in diagnostics detect wire breaks, shorts, and contact welding in real time. Compatible with SafeLOGIC™ safety controllers, this module enables seamless integration of safety and standard logic while reducing cabinet space by 40% versus conventional safety relays.

Key Features and Advantages:
Flexible Safety Integration:
Auto-teaching function adapts to sensor characteristics (e.g., mechanical bounce time). Configurable OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) inputs support light curtains with muting sequences.
Advanced Diagnostics:
Embedded asymmetry monitoring (±0.5 ms) detects delayed switching. Per-channel LEDs visualize fault states (green = OK, red = fault, yellow = diagnostic active).
Seamless Engineering:
Configuration via B&R Automation Studio Safe with pre-certified function blocks. Automatic validation of safety parameters (e.g., category, reaction time) per project requirements.
Robust Performance:
Overvoltage protection (60V DC/50 ms) and reverse polarity protection. Conformal-coated PCB withstands humidity up to 95% non-condensing.
Application Domains
The 5AP981.1505-01 is critical for safety-critical automation:
- Automotive Manufacturing: Robotic cell safety gates with < 5 ms reaction time
- Packaging Lines: Light curtain monitoring for high-speed fillers (EN ISO 13855 compliance)
- Material Handling: Emergency stop chains for AS/RS cranes (PL e Cat. 4)
- Plastics Processing: Two-hand control stations guarding injection molding machines
- Pharma: Cleanroom-compatible safety systems (ISO 14644 Class 5)
- Metals: Roller conveyor emergency stops with vibration resistance (5g)
