倒计时!2027年起，没有它将无缘欧盟市场(中英文)

准备好迎接 2027 年了吗？了解欧盟机械法规将如何重塑合规性和安全要求。

工业自动化正迈入一个新时代，安全标准也在不断扩展，以满足更智能、更互联的机器的需求。自 2027 年 1 月起，必须遵守新的欧盟机械法规 (2023/1230)。否则，将无法获得 CE 标志，也无法进入欧盟市场。

Are you ready for 2027? Learn how the EU Machinery Regulation will reshape compliance and safety requirements by 2027

Industrial automation is entering a new era, with safety standards expanding to meet the demands of smarter, more connected machines. From January 2027, compliance with the new EU Machinery Regulation (2023/1230) will be mandatory. Without it, CE marking and access to the EU market will no longer be possible. 

从指令到法规：有哪些新变化？

From directive to regulation: what’s new? 

现行的欧盟机械指令 (2006/42/EC) 长期以来一直是欧洲 CE 标志和安全合规的基础。但随着自主系统、移动机器人和软件驱动的安全功能的兴起，该指令已不再适用。

新的欧盟机械法规引入了：

• 更广泛的机械定义，涵盖从小型独立设备到移动机器人和复杂装置的各种设备

• 更严格的功能安全和信息技术安全要求

• 更清晰的机械重大变更规则，包括软件更新和系统集成

• 对监控控制提出了新的要求，包括远程监控和移动机械的安全停止

预计在机械法规生效前还会进行进一步更新，因此制造商应密切关注并做好适应准备。

The current EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) has long served as the foundation for CE marking and safety compliance in Europe. But with the rise of autonomous systems, mobile robots, and software-driven safety features, it’s no longer sufficient. 

The new EU Machinery Regulation introduces: 

• A broader definition of machinery, covering small standalone devices to mobile robots and complex installations 

• Stricter requirements for functional safety and IT security 

• Clearer rules around significant changes to machinery, including software updates and system integrations 

• New expectations for supervisory control, including remote monitoring and safe stopping of mobile machines 

Further updates to the Machinery Regulation are expected before it comes into force, so manufacturers should stay informed and be ready to adapt. 

功能安全与无线通信

Functional safety and wireless communication 

现代安全设计中最关键的挑战之一是确保移动机械的可靠无线通信。安全相关信号（例如紧急停止信号或定位数据）必须可靠且无延迟地传输，即使在包含数百台设备的复杂环境中也是如此。

PROFIsafe 和 CIP Safety 等协议非常适合无线传输。虽然包括 FSoE 在内的所有这三种协议都遵循黑信道原理，但 FSoE 的帧求和方法并不适用于 Wi-Fi 环境。相比之下，PROFIsafe 和 CIP Safety 受益于在 PROFINET 和 EtherNet/IP 上使用标准的、可路由的以太网帧，使其在无线应用中更加稳健。

精心设计的无线网络至关重要，因为安全协议依赖于网络超时，而网络超时通常设置为 200 毫秒以上。超时时间越长，系统处于非安全状态的时间就越长。实际上，这意味着更高的超时时间需要人员与机器之间保持更大的物理安全距离。

One of the most critical challenges in modern safety design is ensuring reliable wireless communication for mobile machinery. Safety-related signals, such as emergency stops or positioning data, must be transmitted reliably and without delay, even in complex environments with hundreds of devices. 

Protocols like PROFIsafe and CIP Safety are well-suited for wireless transmission. While all three protocols, including FSoE, follow the black channel principle, FSoE’s summation frame approach is not ideal for Wi-Fi environments. In contrast, PROFIsafe and CIP Safety benefit from using standard, routable Ethernet frames over PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, making them more robust for wireless applications. 

A well-designed wireless network is essential because safety protocols rely on network timeouts that are often set above 200 ms. The longer the timeout, the longer a system may remain in a non-safe state. In practice, this means that higher timeouts require greater physical safety distances between people and machines. 

安全如今已成为一项重要考量。

Security is now a safety concern 

随着机器互联程度的加深，信息技术安全日益受到关注，新规也涵盖了这一问题。未来，制造商必须确保：

• 防止未经授权的访问和篡改安全功能

• 记录和监控与安全相关的干预措施

• 连接第三方设备（例如笔记本电脑或配置工具）不会导致危险情况

安全与保障不再是两个独立的领域。它们共同构成了构建弹性、可信赖且安全的自动化系统的基础。

The new regulation also addresses IT security, a growing concern as machines become more connected. In the future, manufacturers must ensure: 

• Protection against unauthorized access and tampering of the safety functions 

• Logging and monitoring of safety-related interventions 

• Connecting third-party devices, such as laptops or configuration tools, cannot lead to a hazardous situation 

Safety and security are no longer separate domains. Together, they form the foundation for resilient, trustworthy, safe automation systems. 

制造商现在应该做什么

What manufacturers should do now 

为了在 2027 年截止日期前做好准备，制造商应该：

• 审查现有系统是否存在合规性差距

• 在进行重大变更时制定风险评估计划

• 使用预认证组件以简化设计和认证流程

• 与经验丰富的合作伙伴协作，以应对不断变化的标准

新法规将带来清晰的指导，但也会带来复杂性。尽早采取行动是避免延误并确保市场准备就绪的关键。

To stay ahead of the 2027 deadline, manufacturers should: 

• Review current systems for compliance gaps 

• Plan for risk assessments when making significant changes 

• Use pre-certified components to simplify design and certification 

• Collaborate with experienced partners to navigate evolving standards 

The new regulation will bring clarity, but also complexity. Early action is the key to avoiding delays and ensuring market readiness.
