TwinSAFE | Option cards for AX5000 Servo Drives

The TwinSAFE integrated safety solution represents the consistent continuation of the open and PC-based control philosophy from Beckhoff. Due to their modularity and versatility, the TwinSAFE terminals fit seamlessly into the Beckhoff control system. The I/O components are available as Bus Terminals, EtherCAT Terminals, EtherCAT plug-in modules and EtherCAT Box modules. With the fieldbus-neutral safety protocol (TwinSAFE/Safety over EtherCAT), TwinSAFE devices can be integrated into any desired fieldbus system. To this end, the IP 20 TwinSAFE Bus Terminals are integrated into existing stations with K-bus or EtherCAT or used directly in the machine as IP 67 modules. These safety I/Os provide the interfaces to safety-relevant sensors and actuators.
