Safety PLC

integratedEtherCATmodular

Integrated functional safety is state-of-the-art for most machines. With its safety solution, KENDRION uses standard CODESYS as the programming environment and EtherCAT® as the fieldbus. Control programme and safety functionalities in one tool make data exchange simple and clear. All data is available everywhere. The modular, EtherCAT-based FIO I/O system from KENDRION enables the integration of both safe and non-safety relevant modules. It is therefore a practical solution for your entire peripheral expansion at considerably lower engineering and commissioning costs. As a remote I/O, it is connected to the higher-level controller by means of bus couplers. Or safety PLC and I/O modules can be added to the FIO Controller as modular PLCs. Further EtherCAT Safety (FSoE) devices can be connected and safely monitored and controlled using the Safety Controller. CODESYS Safety Control (Safety PLC) Following the TÜV certification, KENDRION also received PLCopen safety certification for the safety control. This certificate means that the decentralised SIL3 safety control FIO Safety PLC in accordance with IEC 61508 can be easily integrated everywhere. The configuration and programming is created with CODESYS and transferred via EtherCAT/ FSoE. CODESYS provides numerous certified safety components, such as emergency stop, two-hand operation, muting, etc. according to PLCopen. In addition, the user can develop customised function blocks for his application if required. Thus, all FSoE slaves, such as drives or I/Os, can be safely controlled and continuously monitored.
