Kendrion Kuhnke Automation is expanding its product portfolio with a certified safety input and output terminal and a safety controller programmable under Codesys, whereby the safety solution fits seamlessly into the world of the supplier's 'FIO' I/O and PLC systems. The FIO Safety I/O 4DI/2DO safety Ethercat terminal is a digital input/output terminal with four safe input channels and two safe output channels. No special controller is required to function as a safe slave. In addition to Codesys, the solution is based on FSoE, so that the safe Ethercat I/O module can be used on any FSoE master. The solution is rounded off by the decentralized SIL3 safety controller 'FIO Safety PLC' in accordance with IEC 61508. The configuration and programming is created with Codesys and transmitted via Ethercat/FSoE. Codesys provides various safety modules such as emergency stop, two-hand operation, muting and others according to PLCopen. Users can also develop customized function blocks for their applications. This means that all FSoE slaves such as drives or I/Os can be safely controlled and continuously monitored.
