2 Product description
2.1 Module description
2.1.1 Purpose, ordering code, module overview
The SFB-EC-8M12-IOP safety fieldbox is designed for connection of up to
8 safety switchgear units with parallel IO signals to a EtherCAT® / FSoE
network.
A maximum of 4 BDF200-FB control panels can be connected to the
device ports X4 – X7.
WARNING
Only safety switchgears are allowed to be connected for which the feedback of an
external voltage can be safely excluded.
The safety signals from the connected safety switchgear are forwarded to a safety
controller via the safety field bus for evaluation.
For larger safety applications, multiple fieldboxes can be connected to the power
supply and field bus in series.
WARNING
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in accordance with the
relevant standards and the required safety level.
The non-safe IO signals of the connected devices are connected to the control
system via the field bus.
Safety switchgear with parallel IO signals can be connected to
device ports X0 - X7.
INFORMATION
BDF200-FB control panels can only be connected to device ports X4 - X7.
