Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for controlling machinery. The system can include a sensor configured to measure an operating characteristic of a machine, and a safety controller in communication with the sensor. The safety controller can include a dedicated boundary processor and be in communication with a control processor through the boundary processor that isolates operations of the control processor form the safety controller. The safety controller can be configured to receive measurement data from the sensor, perform signal conditioning on the measurement data to generate a conditioned sample, analyze the conditioned sample to determine whether to take a safety action, and send the conditioned sample to the boundary processor for transmission to the control processor. The control processor can be configured to perform operations including receiving the conditioned sample and controlling one or more operations of the machine based on the conditioned sample.
