Wieland Electric Programmable safety controller with Profinet

Profinet communication has been integrated into the samos Pro Compact family of programmable safety controllers. The module allows machine design engineers to integrate nonsafe peripheral devices into the program and to relay controller information back to these devices using Profinet communication. The SP-COP2-ENI base controller enables data exchange between Ethernet-based field devices in a machine or building engineering network. The compact, 45-mm-wide base controller module offers 16 safe inputs, four safe outputs and four configurable safe inputs/outputs, with the ability to add modules to achieve as many as 116 safe inputs and 56 safe outputs.
