- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a safety controller in machinery manufacturing?
**A**: A safety controller continuously monitors safety-critical functions in machinery and automatically initiates protective actions, such as stopping operations or activating safety devices, when hazardous conditions are detected to prevent accidents and ensure operator safety.

### Q: What components are included in the safety controller's Bill of Materials (BOM)?
**A**: The BOM includes diagnostic LED indicators for status monitoring, input circuitry for sensor signals, a microprocessor/logic solver for decision-making, safety output relays/contacts for protective actions, and a terminal block for secure electrical connections.

### Q: How does the safety controller ensure reliability in industrial environments?
**A**: It uses robust materials like PCB, plastic housing, copper alloy terminals, and silicon semiconductors, combined with fail-safe design principles and diagnostic features to maintain reliable operation even in harsh industrial conditions.
