ctrlX SAFETY "SafeMotion"
Fig. 50: Zone setup with ctrlX SAFETYlink
The zone master sends up to 16 safe input signals via the ctrlX SAFETYlink. The
input signals are always received by all zone nodes. The received input signals
can be used in the zone nodes as selection signals for safety functions. In ctrlX
DRIVE Engineering, the input signals in the “IO mapper inputs” can be mapped
to the safety functions.
Via ctrlX SAFETYlink, the zone nodes always report their safety status [safety
function "Safety zone acknowledge (SZA)"] and configuration-dependent safety
technology error [safety function "Safe zone error (SZE)"] to the zone master.
The zone master determines the safety status (“SZA signal") and the error
status (“SZE signal”) from the safety function signals.
