ctrlX SAFETY "SafeMotion"
Integrated safety technology in ctrlX DRIVE
6 Product presentation
6.1 What is "integrated safety technology"ctrlX DRIVE?
The drive controllers of the ctrlX DRIVE product line can be equipped with the
optional module "M5" [SMO (SafeMotion)].
Using the optional module "M5", ctrlX DRIVE is equipped with integrated
safety technology which provides the user with universally parameterizable safe
motion monitoring or standstill monitoring.
The encoder-dependent safety functions are applicable up to EN ISO 13849-1
category 3, PL d and EN 62061 SIL 2. The encoder-independent safety func-
tions are applicable for personal protection at machines up to EN ISO 13849-1
category 4, PL e and EN 62061 SIL 3.
Selecting the functions
The safety functions can be selected as follows:
●
Selection via the safety bus; i.e. without additional hardware. Currently,
"FailSafe over EtherCAT" is supported as safety bus.
● Selection via the safety control ctrlX SAFETY in connection with ctrlX SAFE-
TYlink.
● Selection via discrete wiring on the basis of 24-V-signal.
Certification
The safety technology was certified by TÜV Rheinland ®.
An NRTL list by TÜV Rheinland of North America is in preparation.
A UKCA certification is in preparation.
Certificates are available on "⮫ Certipedia", the certificates database of
TÜV Rheinland ®.
Requirements that can be realized
The integrated safety technology is independent of the type of master commu-
nication, the higher-level control unit and the supply modules. It is available as
a functionally safe characteristic of the standard drive system. The following
requirements can be implemented in the machine or in the installation:
●
Measures in accordance with ISO 12100-2, if accessing the danger zone is
required, for example, for equipping, teaching or material withdrawal.
●
Requirements for safety-related parts of control systems according to
EN ISO 13849-1 Category 4 PL e and EN 62061 SIL 3, as required in
EN 1010-1 (printing and paper converting machines), EN 12415 (turning
machines) and EN 12417 (machining centers).
● Control functions in the case of error in accordance with IEC 60204-1
(homogeneous redundancy).
