Concept
Easily create a system just by connecting a safety extension module.
A safety control system can easily be installed just by connecting a safety main module (FX5-SF-MU4T5) to an FX5U/FX5UC/FX5UJ CPU module. This single system can then be used to perform general-purpose control and safety control. Therefore, there is no need for wiring such as the one needed for monitoring the safety status (as is necessary with a safety controller) or the wiring needed between relays when constructing a system with safety relays.
Furthermore, the number of safety inputs can be expanded by connecting safety input expansion modules (FX5-SF-8DI4).
Turn the rotary switch to select the built-in program.
Each safety extension module has nine types of built-in programs. To build a safety control system, just use the rotary switch on the front of the module to select the built-in program to run.
This eliminates the need for sequence programs designed for safety control.
Using the Safety Extension Module Configuration Guide to determine the wiring at a glance!
We have prepared the MELSEC iQ-F Series Safety Extension Module Configuration Guide to enable users to use the safety extension module.
This configuration guide is a tool for easily checking the system configuration, settings, and wiring of the safety extension module.
The MELSEC iQ-F Series was developed and manufactured by SICK AG. SICK is a German supplier of safety solutions.
SICK designs and manufactures a broad range of safety products including industrial-use sensors and automatic identification systems.
* General specifications and product guarantee conditions for co-branded products may vary from those of general MELSEC products.
