Compact PLC C6 SAFETY PLC

integratedEtherCATSIL 3

Overview
Safety functions in innovative industrial systems: the C6 Safety PLC (safety controller) and the C6 Safety I/O module handle safety-related tasks at control level and can be integrated into existing EtherCAT structures. Communication uses the certified Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) safety protocol. Any FSoE slaves (for example Safety I/O modules or KEB drive controllers with safety modules) can be operated via the Safety PLC.

Key benefits

• Freely programmable Safety PLC compliant with IEC 61508 SIL 3 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 PLe
• Certified safety function modules
• Substantial reduction in time spent on development, verification and approval of a safety application
• Programming via CODESYS Safety through the main controller and EtherCAT connection
