BLOCK FUNCTIONS Function modules that have already been tested can be transferred from a library or own function modules can be defined, protected and stored for reuse. MONITORING FUNCTIONS Powerful functions for motion monitoring such as speed, standstill, area and direction monitoring, or emergency stop, destination and step measurement monitoring are offered for selection. After selection, the functions can be parameterized directly in a context-oriented manner. SAFE ARITHMETIC FUNCTIONS parameters (limit values for standstill monitoring, safely reduced speed, protective grid, etc.) can be...

With the help of the SARC calculation function library, a secure kinematic calculation for multi-axis applications can be performed in the SCU safety control units. For this purpose, input values (safe position/ speed/ analog value, configurable constants etc.) are converted to a „single precision float" value and normalized in order to be able to continue using them for the SARC. A variety of mathematical functions, in form of blocks, are available for further calculation, which can be linked individually. These links eventually result in a kinematic calculation instruction list that is loaded...

Safe Drive Profile With the SafePLC2 you can create a wide range of drive profiles. This allows the creation of a small (default) and large (complex) profile. A corresponding configuration of the profile allows the use of decentralized, central and cross-axis security functions. The profiles exported from The SafePLC2 can be imported with the SafePLC2 in the application of the SCU (FSoE-Master). SCU series - the perfect safety solution for EtherCAT

SCU FSoE-Master - Fast Channel Processing The SCU FSoE masters have a significant difference from other safety controls. This difference is particularly due to the deterministic cycle time. GUARANTEED REACTION TIME The deterministic cycle time of 16 ms enables guaranteed reaction times. To further underline this advantage, a Fast Channel task for logic processing has been implemented, which ensures a response time of 4 ms.
