The EK1960 TwinSAFE Compact Controller extends the range of applications of the TwinSAFE integrated safety solution. The core of

the safety controller corresponds to the functionality of the EL6910 dedicated safety controller. Thanks to the compact design of

the EK1960 with 20 safe digital inputs and 24 safe digital outputs (up to 2 A), it covers in particular the safety requirements of

compact machines. The EK1960 can be operated “stand-alone” or networked with other controllers via the EtherCAT connectors. If

the coupler is operated in an EtherCAT network, it can be extended by all EL/ES terminals like any EtherCAT coupler. As a stand

alone device, it cannot be extended by terminals.

Special features:

• analog value processing

• incremental download

• diagnostic history directly on the component

• up to 128 safe connections

• up to 128 TwinSAFE groups

• up to 40 users

• TwinSAFE SC support

• Stand-alone operation (without EtherCAT connection)

• 20 safe inputs

• 24 safe outputs

• 4 optional relay outputs

• Standard outputs can be activated with integrated AND connection with a safe output signal
