With the RSL 400 Profisafe with Profinet interface, Leuze electronic presents a new variant of the safety laser scanner that can be integrated into industrial networks. In addition to safe communication, this enables simple diagnostics and configuration via central access points. The Profinet switch is integrated into the detachable connection unit, which allows the scanner to be replaced without interrupting the network and increases system availability. The connection unit has standardized connection technology with M12 connectors. Thanks to the lateral cable feed, the laser scanner only requires a low installation height. Alternatively, there are AIDA-compliant connection variants with push-pull connectors for copper and fiber optic cables. The integrated 2-port switch supports Profinet Conformance Class C and Isochronous Real Time communication (IRT). This makes the device suitable for use in line and ring topologies in addition to star topologies. It also allows parallel access from standard and safety PLCs, which minimizes the data load via the safety PLC.
