Murrelektronik (Suwanee, GA) showcased its MVK Fusion CIP Safety fieldbus module at PACK EXPO 2024 in Chicago. According to the company, the 3-in-1 functional safety module presents a new opportunity to standardize modular processes, facilitating automation concepts for packaging machinery.
Features:
- Combines three central functions of installation technology: standard digital sensors and actuators, digital safety sensors and actuators and IO-Link
- Reduces number of fieldbus modules required per modular unit, in best case, to one
- With few mouse clicks, users can select safety function in engineering tool of safety controller to complete configuration
- Does not require special knowledge of module parameters
- Does not require manufacturer-specific tool to transfer SNN to out-of-the-box device
- Various adapters for simplifying connection of devices with safety and standard signals
- Configurable sourcing-bipolar safety outputs
- Configurable single or redundant safety inputs
- IO-Link Class A port for illumination or IO expansion
- IO-Link Class B port with safety output for achieving up to PLd on valve manifolds and other output devices
- Fully encapsulated metal housing
- Shock and vibrant resistant
- IP67 rated
- Temperature range from -30 ºC to 60 ºC
