Ultra-fast cycle times
With ctrlX SAFETYlink, the safety controller allows easy generation of safety zones and quick response times by communicating directly to ctrlX DRIVE with SafeMotion functionality. Up to 32 axes can be configured per SAFETYlink master. The system provides individual safe feedback from each ctrlX DRIVE to the ctrlX SAFETYlink master.
Compared to safe fieldbuses, the control is much faster. In addition, there is a shorter response time due to a guaranteed bus cycle of 1 ms for up to 16 axes and 2 ms for up to 32 axes in the ctrlX SAFETY fast channel. The link between the master and the slave devices is independent of the fieldbus.
The ultra-fast cycle times not only ensure maximum safety, but also maximum productivity in dynamic automation applications.
