MOSAIC is a modular safety controller. It consists of a master unit , which can
be configured using the MSD graphic interface, and a number of expansion units
connected to the M1 via the proprietary MSC bus.
The M1 can also be used as a stand-alone device. It has 8 safety inputs and 2
independent programmable dual channel outputs.
The following expansions are available: I/O expansions , input only
expansions , output only expansions
, signaling only expansions , guided contact
safety relay output modules and diagnostic
connections to the main fieldbuses: (PROFIBUS), (CanOpen)
(DeviceNet), (ETHERNET/IP), (ETHERNET/IP-2PORT), (Profinet),
(ETHERCAT), (Modbus RTU), (Modbus/TCP)
MOSAIC is capable of monitoring the following safety sensors and commands:
optoelectronic sensors (safety light curtains, scanners, safety photocells),
mechanical switches, safety mats, emergency stops, two-hand controls, all
managed by a single flexible and expandable device.
The system must consist of just one Master M1 and a number of electronic
expansions that can range from 0 to a maximum of 14, not more than 4 of which
of the same type. There is no limit to the number of relay modules that can be
installed.
With 14 expansions, the system can have up to 128 inputs, 16 dual channel safety
outputs and 16 status outputs. The MASTER and its SLAVE units communicate via
the 5-way MSC bus (ReeR proprietary bus), physically arranged on the rear panel
of each unit.
Furthermore 8 inputs and 16 outputs probe controllable (by Fieldbus) are
available.
With the and Mosaic expansion units, the number of inputs in
the system can be increased to allow more external devices to be connected. The
also provides 8 OUT_TEST outputs.
The and Mosaic expansion units provide the system, respectively, with
2 and 4 OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) pairs for controlling devices
connected downstream of the .
The has 8 inputs and 2 OSSD outputs.
The and Mosaic expansion units provide the system with 2 and 4 N.O.
guided contact safety relay outputs, respectively, with the related external relay
feedback (N.C. contact).
The expansion units in the series permit connection to the most commonly
used industrial fieldbus systems for diagnostics and data transmission.
The , and also have an ethernet connection. The
permits connection to devices with a USB port.
