By OEM Update Editorial March 7, 2020 11:11 am IST

The B&R drive technology portfolio now offers a Blackout mode that ensures safe machine control in the event of a network failure. Machine downtime can be avoided without costly redundancy solutions to enable high machine availability.

The Blackout function enables the safe variants of B&R servo drives (ACOPOSmulti, ACOPOSmotor or ACOPOS P3) to continue operation in the event of a network failure. Safety functionality remains intact.
