This brochure is intended
as a guide.
It covers the core questions
relating to safety-oriented
pneumatics and electrical
engineering:
• Why use safety-oriented
pneumatics?
• How can I identify the risk
posed by a system or machine
to the operator or user?
• Which standards and
directives apply?
• Which safety measures are
derived from these?
• What are the most common
safety measures?
Simple and helpful: The second
part of the brochure contains
sample circuit diagrams for the
most commonly used safety
functions in conjunction with
pneumatic and electric drives
as well as the corresponding
Festo product combinations.
These can be used to implement
many safety functions.
