MELSEC-QS Safety programmable controller The safety programmable controller is an International Safety Standard certified PLC for safety control. When connected with a safety device, such as an emergency stop switch or light curtain, this programmable controller executes safety control by turning the safety output OFF with a user-created sequence program to stop movement toward a source of hazard, such as a robot. Machine control of the robot and conveyor, etc., is executed with a general-purpose programmable controller in the conventional manner. The difference between the safety...

CC-Link IE Field Network This industrial Ethernet field network "CC-Link IE Field Network" enables intelligent manufacturing systems to perform high speed I/O control and distributed control simultaneously. Wiring is done easily thanks to standard Ethernet cables and flexible cabling. Safety information can be shared between two or more safety programmable controllers using "Safety Communication Functions". Communications between standard programmable controllers may be performed concurrently with communications between safety programmable controllers. CC-Link IE Field Network with Safety...
