Connectivity solution
29 November 2013
The new SICK Flexi Loop is said to mark a major step forward for machine safety with a simple connectivity solution for safety and plant design engineers to meet recent regulatory changes.

Sick's Dr Martin Kidman said: "The new Sick Flexi Loop permits the series connection of dual channel devices, while allowing high diagnostic coverage and eliminating the potential for so called fault masking. It is a fully open system and can accommodate standard sensor/switch devices from any vendor. As a field I/O system, it allows a designer to connect any safety system in series with another without any compromise of the safety system performance to PLe integrity.”
