Murrelektronik: New Hybrid Safety Module for EtherNet/IP
Murrelektronik’s MVK Fusion hybrid fieldbus modules unite three elementary functions of installation technology: discrete I/O, safety I/O, and IO-Link. This clever 3-in-1 solution is increasingly in demand worldwide, which is why the company now also offers a hybrid module for EtherNet/IP applications, utilizing the Common Industrial Protocol Safety (CIP Safety): the new MVK Fusion CIP Safety.
The combination of standard and safety communication into one device streamlines system architecture and makes installation significantly easier and faster. This innovative approach means that machine builders and system integrators need fewer fieldbus modules per modular unit, ideally only one – which greatly reduces installation effort and saves valuable space.
The new hybrid safety modules for EtherNet/IP also simplify the configuration of safety-related sensors and actuators. Configuration is handled directly through the controller’s engineering software. This means that no external tools are needed to transfer the Safety Network Number (SNN) or device settings, minimizing setup time and reducing errors.
The safety output on Port X3 provides unmatched flexibility. It can be configured as two sourcing outputs, one bipolar output, or a combination of both.
The device features robust M12 L-coded power connectors, making it ideal for space-constrained installations. In addition to their compact form factor, these connectors offer high current capacity, reliability and proven coding.
