All safety sensors and switches can be integrated into safety and standard network via the outputs (contacts, OSSDs) using corresponding controllers or remote I/Os.
SICK's special EFI and SDL interfaces transmit additional data which can be used for process optimization. SICK provides suitable gateways and control components.
