Beckhoff Automation Modular, scalable safety

TwinSAFE safety controllers permit optimal adaptation to an individual machine’s concept’s specific safety requirements. The ability to distribute an entire safety application’s intelligence across multiple TwinSAFE Logic-capable I/O modules means flexible implementation of modular architectures. The latest I/O components are EL1918 TwinSAFE EtherCAT terminal, a digital terminal with eight safe inputs; EL2911 TwinSAFE EtherCAT terminal, a safe potential supply terminal with four safe inputs and one safe output; and EP1957-0022 TwinSAFE EtherCAT box, an IP67-protected digital combi module with eight safe inputs and four safe outputs. These I/O modules can be used as controllers for the direct execution of customer-specific safety projects.
