The KeSafe D3-SDC servo drive is the basis for a comprehensive safety solution.

It provides safe drive functions within the KeDrive D3 platform and monitors

movements in accordance with current standards and guidelines. With optional

SafeMotion functions, the D3-SDC is ideally suited for safety-critical machine axes.

Users benefit from a fast response time, high reliability, and seamless integration

into existing machine architectures.

Pre-certified solution

The KeSafe D3-SDC servo drive fulfills the safety monitoring functions in accordance

with ISO 61800-5-2. This reduces the overall certification effort for the machine.

Your freedom – your advantage

In the Kemro  X system, which is also open to third-party controllers, all components

can be flexibly combined. This creates a consistent safety concept that fits perfectly

into any machine architecture – without compromise.

Key features

KeSafe D3-DU is suitable for simple logic operations and safe single-axis functions

as well as complex safety requirements in robot applications.

• Safe integration into the system

The KeSafe D3-DU enables safe communication with a higher-level safety controller

– either as a PROFIsafe F-Device or FSoE© SubDevice.

• Programming & parameterization

With the KeStudio SafeEdit application tool, safety applications can be easily created,

diagnosed and validated. Subsequent adjustments are made using the KeStudio

SafePMT2 parameterization tool.

• Hardware components

The KeSafe D3-DU safety controller combines safety logic and motion monitoring in

one device and enables simple expandability as an FSoE© MainDevice.

Maximum integration and flexibility

The KeSafe system impresses with its seamless compatibility within the Kemro X

automation platform. Whether with the decentralized encoder box solution

(KeDrive D3-SMM) for flexible placement and considerable cable lengths or

the machine-integrated variant with safe axis controller (KeDrive D3-SDC) – both

approaches can be used optimally depending on requirements.

Your freedom – your advantage

All components are fully coordinated and can be flexibly combined. The result is

a consistent safety concept that fits perfectly into any machine architecture –

without any compromises.

The KeSafe D3-DU product is the basis for a compre-hensive safety solution

for machines and/or robots. It is embedded in the compact KeSafe D3-DU

control and drive system and ensures the safe operation of machines and/or

robots in accordance with current standards and directives. KeSafe D3-DU is

field-tested, powerful and flexible and supports the efficient implementation

of a wide range of safety-related requirements and appli-cations in automation.

Pre-certified solution

The KeSafe D3-DU is equipped with pre-certified robotics monitoring modules

that help to meet the requirements of ISO 10218-1:2025.

KeSafe D3-DU safety technology

Compact. Safe. High performance.

The KeSafe D3-DU from KEBA combines control, motion, visualization and

safety on a single platform – including optional integrated safety controller

and compact diagnostic display. The KeSafe D3-DU combines CFast me

mory, integrated HMI, safe digital I/ Os, USB interfaces, an EtherCAT©

and RT-Ethernet controller and two Ethernet ports – ideal for use as an

RT-Ethernet device in sophisticated automation architectures.

Semi-automatable safety application development

KeStudio SafeEditNG software, specially developed for the

KeSafe C5 range, is a user-friendly drag-and-drop  engineering

tool for implementing and diagnosis of safety applications.

Characterized by a high level of automation in the configura

tion of safety applications, it features, among others:

• Flexible assignment of physical hardware to virtual

application I/Os

• Export, adaption and import of safety applications on

AML-based data files

•  Adaption of safety application configurations via

customer engineering tools (SAP, E-Plan, etc.)

• Lower verification efforts thanks to user-defined

checksums, allowing flexible assignment of application

data to checksums.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

As often highlighted at KEBA, getting a complete solution

from one source brings numerous benefits in performance,

optimal data exchange, fast diagnostics, and maintenance.

Therefore, KeSafe C5 SCP 501 controller and SDM 570

extension module should be combined with KeContol C5

controllers, KeConnect C5 I/Os, and for the best results,

also with KeDrive drives.

SCP 501 Safety Controller & SDM 570 Extension Module

The KeSafe C5. a modular safety solution consisting of

hardware and software, was developed for the optimal

realization of safety applications in serial machines and plant

engineering. The pioneer of the KeSafe C5 safety system is

the SCP 501 CPU module with a high number of onboard

I/Os, open architecture, and compact size, perfectly

designed to execute complex safety applications, process

safe sensor signals, and control safe actuators. For in

creased  flexibility, the system can be expanded using the

SDM 570 extension module.

Sophisticated solution for hybrid output control

KEBA hardware-based approach for controlling safe outputs

via the functional controller results in excellent repeat accura

cy and cost saving potential. The hybrid output control  offers

the possibility to control the outputs both from the safety

application and the functional control (AND logic).

The KeDrive D3 drive system can be expanded with a controlled energy storage system. 

Essentially, the system consists of an energy manager and an energy storage device.

Energy storage systems are used in a variety of applications. Whether for the storage

of energy generated regeneratively in the drive system or for buffering and the provision

of energy in peak load situations.

The energy manager KeDrive D3-EM, as a dynamically regulated step-down converter,

makes use of a large DC link voltage range.

In this way the system can store and deliver more energy compared to storage modules

of the same capacity directly integrated into the DC link.

The energy storage system can be combined with both passive and active supply units.

The requirements specify the selection of the supply.

Regulated DC link voltage for clearly international drive design

Independent of worldwide mains voltages

Optimised energy storage device in the DC link

Reduction of mains distortion (THD) and reactive power caused by passive mains rectification

Saving in mains connection costs due to limitation of the peak load consumption from the supply

system 

Controlled energy storage device for dynamic application

system” with the KEBA energy storage system.
