Who needs a separate safety controller? January 1st 2007 The Sick UE44X7 field mountable controller for standalone and networked applications are perfect for discrete machines or part of a multiple zone process line that requires complex function block logic. The rugged, standalone, IP67- rated units allow standard PLCs to control safety outputs without the need for a separate safety-related controller. They offer easy connection to outputs on the device plus direct and easy assignment of inputs to outputs. System response time is greatly reduced with the UE44X7, as network transmission can be eliminated. Its safety-enable capability allows a standard PLC to control the safety output such as an actuator via the network. More articles from SICK (UK) Ltd: |
