Development of functional safety applications for Autec products. Study of protocols: CANopen, CANopen Safety, FSOE and ProfiSafe

This thesis has the principal goal of developing intrinsic safety applications in distributed real-time industrial systems, mainly based on fieldbuses and RTE networks. To achieve this important objective the first part of this elaborate provides an introduction of the principal protocols, such as CANopen Safety, Fail safe Over Ethercat (FSOE) and Profisafe, used for the safety relevant applications in the automation environment,analysing properties,story and the use of them by industry.
