5.5.8 Connection of SICK EFI-compatible devices
You can connect SICK EFI-compatible devices to your CPU module if your project
contains a WS0-CPU1 or WS0-CPU3.
Drag and drop the desired SICK EFI-compatible device (e.g. a C4000 safety light
curtain) from the Elements selection window to the EFI connection of the CPU
module. The Device selection wizard will open where you can select the exact
device variant or enter its type code directly.
Click Finish to confirm your selection and to connect the selected SICK EFI-
compatible device. The EFI bits for the connected SICK EFI-compatible device are
now available in the logic editor as inputs and outputs for the CPU.
Double-click an SICK EFI-compatible device to open its configuration dialog.
The configuration of an SICK EFI-compatible device must be uploaded or
transferred separately in the configuration dialog of the SICK EFI-compatible device.
To do this, you have to connect the Setting and Monitoring Tool with the MELSEC-
WS safety controller first.
For details of the SICK products, please contact your local SICK representative
(see Section 15.4).

Depending on the devices already connected there may be restrictions which
devices can be connected on the other EFI connection.
Switching of the EFI address
In some combinations of SICK EFI-compatible devices it is mandatory that the
MELSEC-WS safety controller has the EFI address 13, because EFI address 14 is
already occupied by another SICK EFI-compatible device (e.g. EFI network module,
UE403).
To switch between EFI address 13 and 14, right click on the WS0-CPU1 or WS0-
CPU3 and choose Address 13 or Address 14 from the context menu.
After switching of the EFI address, the MELSEC-WS safety controller carries out a
reset, i.e. all outputs are switched off.
