Programmed for safety

Tuesday 26. April 2011 - A new family of Safety Controllers from Leuze electronic

The new MSI 100 programmable Safety Controllers – with 20 safe inputs – control machines with a wide range of different safety com-ponents, including E-STOP buttons, two-hand controls, Safety Switches, locking devices or light barriers. In addition, the compact Safety Controller, just 67.5 mm wide, can monitor up to four drive components independent of one another.
For large machines and systems, its big brother, the modularly ex-pandable MSI 200, is the right solution. With this device, systems with up to 140 safety modules or with 44 drive components are no problem. Additional MSI-FB fieldbus modules enable the transfer of diagnostic data to the respective PLC via the fieldbus. The function of the Safety Devices can be quickly and effectively programmed using MSIsafesoft software. PLCopen-certified function blocks, which can be integrated in the safety circuit using drag & drop func-tionality, facilitate menu-driven and trouble-free configuration. An integrated simulation mode and the automatic logic test assist the user right from the start.
