SICK: Flexi Loop

With the decentralized integration concept Flexi Loop, SICK meets the demand for a cost-saving possibility to cascade safety switches and sensors within a machine while maintaining the highest level of security. Therefore, up to eight sensor cascades with up to 32 safety sensors can be connected to a safety controller.

For each sensor detailed diagnostic information are available. Integrated switching signals allow the use of interlocks, buttons and lamps. A cascade with Flexi Loop only needs one safe input. All sensors are supplied with energy and only unscreened standard cables with M12 plugs are used.
