Simply expanding the modular system

• FAST machine module solutions are achieved these days with a controller

and the corresponding servo drives. This solution is now topped with

integration of the safety controller. Using the same network viaEtherCAT,

the system topography is the same.

• The safety controller can be parameterised via the PLC Designer engineering

tool, in parallel with the controller 3200 C and the servo inverter.

From drive-based safety to controller-based safety:

this new simplicity can be seen among other things in the noticeably reduced

amount of wiring. This is the result of directly interlinking the Lenze controllers

for safety and motion – in addition to ready-made software solutions from the

FAST Application Software Toolbox. Hence in practice, a FAST module can,

for instance, control the reduction in traversing speed while at the same time

the safety controller within the system can monitor the safe maximum speed.
