4.3. Safety Subsystem

The safety subsystem consists of various submodules that collect appropriate information to indicate the status and actions of the whole system, which passes into the external safety logic.

The safety subsystem comprises the following blocks:

  • Safety block (FPGA implementation of the safety channel)
  • Quadrature encoder pulse
  • Interval timer
  • Push button debounce (for reset)
  • Bridges for control and device access.
