Modular Safety Controller
November 1st 2006 SICK has solved the problems of complex wiring and the need for proprietary software with its new Modular Safety Controller, the UE 410 FLEXI, a series of units and add-on modules that allows users to implement complex safety-rated logic without the use of software. The logic funtionality within the UE410 FLEXI series is easily implemented using programme switches on the front of each device. The UE410 FLEXI series comprises a number of units - a main control unit, an expansion control unit, an eight Dual-channel Safety Input Module, a one Dualchannel Safety Relay Output Module (2NO/1NC), a two Dualchannel Safety Realy Output Module (4N0/2NC), a DeviceNet Interface Module and a Profibus Interface Module. These modules can then be combined with one another, building a safety logic system specific to the users application, using the interface connections on each side of each unit.
