1 OVERVIEW
Safety extension module is a module that can configure a safety control system with an FX5 CPU module.
Features
The following explains the features of a safety extension module.
■Easy to construct a safety control system
A safety extension module can be attached directly to the iQ-F bus.
Therefore, only by connecting a safety extension module to a general control system, the conventional system can be
expanded to a safety control system.
Additionally, each status of the safety control (such as safety inputs/outputs and error statuses) can be monitored.
■Construct a safety system without programming
A safety control system can be constructed by selecting a built-in program of a safety extension module.
No sequence program for the safety control is required.
■Easy to troubleshoot
When an error occurred on a safety control side, the error status can be easily checked in the monitor of GX Works3 or the
module diagnostic screen; therefore, troubleshooting can be done easily.
Additionally, unlike a general safety relay and a safety controller, the safety wiring or setting of a communication gateway
module to monitor the safety control status is not required because a safety extension module can be attached directly to the
iQ-F bus.
