3 Functions and features
The freely programmable controllers of the "ecomatController" series are rated for
use under difficult conditions: this includes an extended temperature range, strong
vibration, intensive EMC interference�
This is a class A product� This product may cause radio interference in
domestic areas�
► If required, take appropriate EMC screening measures�
• Safety controller for mobile machinery applications�
• Two separately programmable controllers:
- safety PLC for safety-related applications
- standard PLC for standard applications
- CODESYS V3�5 programming system (in a version approved by ifm) for
both controllers� The safe controller requires a safety SIL2 extension for
CODESYS�
• For applications operating according to the normally closed principle, for which
the safety functions can be implemented, the following applies: safe state =
power-free state (power-free output, switched off)�
• For a suitable time interval for the execution of the self-test of the controller,
refer to the safety concept or the applicable product standards of the
application� If no value can be determined, it is recommended to restart the
device after 7 days at the latest (see programming manual, chapter Safety
concept)�
• For the supply of the controller (on-board system, PELV power supply):
(→ 6 Electrical connection)
• Multifunctional inputs and outputs the operating mode (e�g� current, voltage,
frequency input; PWM, digital output) and use of which can be configured in
one of the controllers�
• Sensors and actuators can (depending on the required input and/or output
type) be connected either as single or dual channel and be used as a safe
device�
• Connection of sensors or actuators via CAN interfaces� Connection to other
controllers via CAN� Implementation of a safe communication via CANopen
