ARC將羅克韋爾自動化排在全球安全市場首位

In a recent ARC Advisory Group report, Rockwell Automation ranked first as the global leader in machine and process safety solutions. The report, “Machine Safeguarding Solutions Worldwide Outlook,” and top ranking coincides with the company’s 10-year anniversary of providing comprehensive safety solutions to manufacturers around the world. Rockwell Automation takes a holistic approach to safety, providing innovative safety solutions to improve the functional operation of a machine – simultaneously helping to increase safety, efficiency and productivity while reducing waste.

在一份最近的ARC顧問集團的報告中，羅克韋爾自動化在機械和過程安全解決方案市場是排名第一的全球領導廠商。這份名為《機械維護解決方案全球展望》的報告，在恰逢羅克韋爾自動化為全球制造商提供全面的安全解決方案10周年之際將其列為榜首。羅克韋爾自動化對機械安全采取一種全面的方法，為改善機械的功能操作提供創新的安全解決方案——同時幫助提高安全性、效率和生產力，同時又減少浪費。

“Through strategic investments, product innovation and active participation in several international standards organizations, Rockwell Automation continues to reinforce its position as a leading force in functional safety, including production machinery and process safety,” said Sal Spada, research director, ARC Advisory Group. “Rockwell Automation is committed to improving worker safety and productivity for its customers with a comprehensive and proven safety portfolio.”

ARC顧問集團研究主任Sal Spada表示：“通過戰略投資、產品創新和積極參與一些國際標準組織，羅克韋爾自動化繼續加強其在功能安全——包括機械和生產過程安全領域的主導力量。羅克韋爾自動化致力于利用其綜合性和經過驗證的安全產品組合，改善客戶的工人安全和生產力。”

Rockwell Automation offers the world’s largest portfolio of safety automation products and services. The acquisitions of ICS Triplex and CEDES, among others, bolstered the company’s offerings, which encompass a broad range of scalable products and solutions including component, programmable and fully integrated safety solutions. Key milestones include the following.

羅克韋爾自動化提供世界上最大的安全自動化產品和服務組合。對ICS Triplex 公司和CEDES公司的收購，以及其他收購，鞏固了其供應能力，包括一系列廣泛的可擴展性的產品和解決方案，有組件、可編程和全集成安全解決方案。主要的包括以下幾個方面。

CIP Safety – In 2002, Rockwell Automation joined two other members of the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) to develop an open protocol allowing both standard and safety devices to operate on the same network. As a result of this effort, ODVA introduced a Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). Referred to as CIP Safety, this protocol helps manufacturers maximize production by synchronizing the safe and standard functions of equipment. CIP Safety also enables the distribution of safety control devices to appropriate locations on a machine, thereby helping reduce overall installation costs.

CIP安全協議——2002年，羅克韋爾自動化聯合開放式設備網絡供應商協會（ODVA）其他兩個成員制定了一個開放式協議，允許標準設備和安全設備在同一網絡上運行。基于這一努力，ODVA推出了一個通用工業協議(CIP)。這一協議被稱為CIP 安全，通過同步設備的安全和標準功能，幫助制造商獲得最大限度的生產。CIP 安全協議還使得安全控制裝置可以分布在機器的合適位置，從而幫助降低總體安裝成本。

Allen-Bradley GuardLogix Controller – Introduced in 2005, the GuardLogix controller integrates standard and safety control architecture, and is rated up to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 functionality. SIL 2 and SIL 3 are the most common safety integrity levels required in machine and process safety applications, making the GuardLogix controller ideal for a wide range of safety applications. The GuardLogix controllers are part of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system, helping provide improved sharing of information, multidisciplined control, reduced training costs, and faster programming and commissioning.

艾倫-布拉德利GuardLogix控制器——于2005年推出的GuardLogix控制器集成了標準和安全控制架構，并被評為高達安全完整性等級(SIL)3級的功能。SIL 2 和SIL 3是機械和過程安全應用中要求的最普遍安全完整性等級，使得GuardLogix控制器成為眾多安全應用的理想選擇。GuardLogix控制器是羅克韋爾自動化集成架構系統的一部分，幫助提供更好的信息共享、多遵守控制，減少培訓費用以及更快的編程和調試。

Process Safety – Rockwell Automation acquired ICS Triplex in 2007, expanding the company’s process safety offerings for end users needing high availability and fault-tolerant critical control solutions. These offerings provide manufacturers with a high degree of protection for their assets, including people, equipment and the environment.

過程安全——羅克韋爾自動化在2007年收購了ICS Triplex，擴大了該公司的過程安全產品供應，滿足需要高可用性和容錯關鍵控制解決方案的終端用戶。這些產品為制造商的資產，包括人員、設備和環境，提供了高度的保護。

Safe-Speed Control – In 2009, Rockwell Automation introduced safe-speed control core technology as part of the Allen-Bradley Guardmaster Minotaur MSR57P dedicated safe-speed monitoring relay, the Allen Bradley PowerFlex 755 series of AC drives, and the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6200 servo drive. Safe-speed core control technology helps reduce overall system cost, improve flexibility and increase productivity by allowing operators to perform maintenance and other tasks while a machine is in motion. Safe-speed control also offers easier configuration and can be used across multiple platforms – whether in an upgraded or retrofitted application.

安全速度控制——2009年，羅克韋爾自動化推出的安全速度控制核心技術，是艾倫-布拉德利Guardmaster Minotaur MSR57P專用安全速度監測繼電器、艾倫-布拉德利PowerFlex 755系列交流驅動器以及艾倫-布拉德利Kinetix 6200伺服驅動的一部分。安全速度核心控制技術通過允許操作人員在機器運行的同時，執行維護和其他任務，從而幫助降低整體系統成本，提高靈活性和提高生產力。安全速度控制還提供了更方便的配置，以及可以用于跨平臺——無論是升級還是改造應用。

“In the last 10 years, global safety standards have evolved substantially, and we’ve helped customers stay ahead of that curve,” said John Nesi, vice president, Market Development. “We’re committed to continually exceeding customers’ expectations by providing safety systems to meet the rapidly changing demands of manufacturing and their business goals.”

羅克韋爾自動化市場開發部副總裁John Nesi表示：“在過去10年里，全球的安全標準取得了極大的發展，而我們則幫助客戶保持領先于業界水平。我們致力于不斷超越客戶的期望，為他們提供滿足迅速變化的制造要求和其商業目標的安全系統。”
