Electromechanical Actuators – Selected Safety-Related Problems

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Automation, Robotics and Measuring Techniques

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 267))

Abstract

This paper presents the results of considerations and calculations on the role of electromechanical actuators in a path of realization of automated functions and on the requirements resulting from the intended application. The safety-related functions and process-related functions are discussed. A special situation of actuators working in 1oo1 architecture, as well as consequences of that architecture on satisfaction of requirements, are presented. Some procedures of conduct resulting from the good engineering practice are also described.
