IDEC Safety Controller Is Easily Configured
IDEC has announced that its Safetyone FS1A Safety Controller can replace up to six safety relay modules with no programming. The company said that unlike a multiple safety relay system, which requires cumbersome wiring and takes up too much space, or safety PLCs that can be costly and difficult to program, its safety controllers make it easy to consolidate safety circuits and meet safety requirements.
Easily configured by turning on a dip switch to one of eight pre-defined logic circuits, one module can connect with various IDEC safety and non-safety components such as emergency stop switches, interlock switches, pilot lights, sensors and light curtains (muting function can be set for the light curtain). With seven dual channel safety inputs, four safety outputs and multiple non-safety inputs, monitor, blanking and solenoid drive outputs, Safetyone can simplify companies' safety and logic circuits. Easy-to-read LED indicators give notification of error and I/O status and selectable time delays of 0-30s can be set on the outputs.
FS1A is UL listed, TUV rated and CE marked, as well as meeting IEC 61508 integrity level three, ISO 13849-1 performance level e and EN954-1 safety category four.
