Schneider Electric
Safety controller functionally expanded
Schneider Electric has expanded the functionality of the Modicon MCM series of safety controllers. In particular, the processing capacity of the function blocks in the CPU has been significantly increased.
Schneider Electric has also implemented the evaluation of analog measured values, and the number of controllable outputs has more than doubled. Modules with switching currents of up to 2 A are also available for the outputs. The safety controllers always consist of a CPU unit and associated I/O modules for connecting the safety elements. A communication module for the connection to the control system, such as Ethernet, is also available.
The new processing of analog measured values makes it possible to integrate safety precautions more ergonomically into operating processes. Using appropriate measuring devices, potential hazards for man and machine can be detected precisely and at an early stage, for example by measuring temperature, weight or gas concentrations.
