New network gateways for electro-sensitive pro-tective equipment
SICK is presenting a new product family, called UE-EFI Gateways, for the integration of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) in PROFIsafe, PROFIBUS DP, Ethernet TCP/IP and CANopen bus systems. A variety of versions of S300 and S3000 safety laser scanners, the C4000 safety light curtain, the M4000 multiple light beam safety device, and UE440/UE470 compact safety controllers can be connected.
The new safety solution with bi-directional data exchange permits the use of the ex-panded sensor functions of ESPEs from SICK, e.g. the switching of monitored fields in the case of safety laser scanners. The Gateways are connected via the Enhanced Function Interface (EFI) of ESPEs from SICK and are thus suitable for both standard and safe PLCs.
Safe integration increases plant availability
The integration of the ESPE with the help of the new Gateway series allows bi-directional transfer of the ESPE’s configuration, status and diagnostic information in the particular control environment. This permits complete system diagnosis and simple re-configuration at any time. The integration of the ESPE in a human-machine interface (HMI), and the possibility of remote maintenance of the safety systems, lead to a con-siderable increase in plant availability.
