Flexibility from modularity: the

UE410 FLEXI is the name of the new softwareless safety controller from SICK. It is suitable for the connection of numerous safety sensors both tactile and non-contact. Expansion modules, and a diagnostic module for fieldbus coupling to Profibus DP or DeviceNet, can be plugged into the side of a basic element one after the other. When expanded to the maximum, up to 50 two-channel safety sensors can be monitored and all this up to Category 4 in compliance with EN 954-1 or SIL 3 according to EN 61508.

Neither software nor a laptop is required for configuration, regardless of the level of expansion a simple screwdriver is sufficient to get the safety system ready for action.

Connect: a professional safety integrator

The UE410 FLEXI is suitable for both tactile and non-contact safety sensors, e.g. inductive safety systems, magnetic reed sensor systems, transponder safety interlocks, protective door switches, emergency stop devices, Type 2 two-hand controls, testable photoelectric switches and light curtains. The systems can be connected and the individual functions that are necessary can be defined up to muting or override. On integration of the diagnostic module to the Profibus DP/Devicenet coupling, the higher-ranking machine controller can remotely trigger the starting of functions.

Combine: logic without software

A main unit forms the basic element of the UE410 FLEXI. Further expansion units, input expansion modules, relay output expansions and a diagnosis module for fieldbus coupling to Profibus DP or DeviceNet can be plugged in from the side, one after the other. The individual modules communicate with one another via a data bus. The functions of each module can be selected by rotary switch on the front. AND/OR, bypass, or two- and four-sensor muting can also be achieved via terminal configuration, as can numerous supplementary functions, e.g. automatic start, restart interlock or release delay.

Control: grows as the system grows
The modular concept of the UE410 FLEXI can be expanded according to need. It also cuts device costs and space in the control cabinet. A single module with eight different functions replaces two conventional safety switching devices. With maximum development, up to 50 two-channel safety sensors can be monitored and this with Category 4 safety in compliance with EN 954-1 and SIL 3 according to EN 61508.
Connect, combine, control the UE410 FLEXI is a new type of safety controller that represents a flexible and user-friendly alternative in many cases.
