Mitsubishi Electric has added yet another attractive product to its growing line of safety solutions for industrial automa-tion: A compact safety controller for small and medium scale applications. Developed in collaboration with SICK AG, the MELSEC WS powered by SICK has a modular architecture and meets the most exacting international safety standards. <\/p>\n
The MELSEC WS safety controller is specifically designed for the safety requirements of individual machines and smaller and me-dium sized systems. With its compact dimensions and modular architecture the programmable logic controller is very easy to con-figure for a wide range of different tasks. The certified controller conforms to the international IEC 61058 SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level) and EN ISO 13849-1 PL e (Performance Level) standards. This means it meets all manufacturing industry safety require-ments up to the very highest level, making it much easier to pro-duce machinery and equipment conforming to the European ma-chinery directive. <\/p>\n
The newly-developed safety controller enables efficient combination of industrial safety technology and standard controller systems. The proprietary EFI communications port makes it possible to integrate SICK AG’s intelligent sensors in any safety solution quickly and eas-ily. Additional functions like comprehensive diagnostics all the way up to the control level are just as simple to implement as cascaded photoelectric barriers and switching safety zones with the help of laser scanners. Standard signals and data can be exchanged in a network via the CC-Link or Ethernet communications interfaces. Short response times of no more than eight milliseconds ensure both optimum protection for personnel and machinery and make it possible to install the safety equipment directly next to the danger zones of your machines. This saves space and also reduces cabling overheads and installation costs.<\/p>\n
The new MELSEC WS safety controller complements Mitsubishi Electric’s existing portfolio of industrial safety products. In addition to simple safety switchgear for standard tasks in small applications these include the modular MELSEC QS safety PLC system, which is a mature safety solution for large machines and complete pro-duction lines, and also drive products with integrated safety tech-nology. These products can be used to implement standards-compliant safety solutions for plant and machinery of all types and sizes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
