Kuhnke FIO Safety PLC EC

694 331 00

Kuhnke FIO Safety PLC EC is a module intended to be used as a head module in EtherCAT® networks. Acting as the FSoE master, it is able to address any FSoE slave including safety I/Os, motion controllers, valve islands and other FSoE equipment. The Safety PLC meets the requirements of IEC 61508 SIL3 and DIN EN ISO 13849 PLe. CODESYS version 3.5 SP8 or higher is used for programming. The CODESYS safety function modules have been certified previously, thus considerably reducing the efforts of developing, verifying and approving a safety application. The main controller's CODESYS environment and the EtherCAT link are used for programming.
