The TwinSAFE Compact Controller is programmed via the TwinCAT Safety Editor in the same way as other TwinSAFE components. A

TwinSAFE project is created and loaded over EtherCAT into the EK1960. The EK1960 supports the establishment of 128 TwinSAFE

connections. For flexible adaptation to different safety tasks, the TwinSAFE Compact Controller can be combined with the TwinSAFE

I/O components in IP20 and IP67 and the TwinSAFE Drive Option cards.

In addition to the Safety over EtherCAT protocol, the EK1960 also supports the TwinSAFE SC technology. This makes the safe

transfer of data from TwinSAFE SC terminals to the EK1960 TwinSAFE Compact Controller possible.

The EK1960 also supports the processing of analog signals (16/32 bit, signed and unsigned). These signals can be transferred to

the logic as standard, TwinSAFE SC or Safety over EtherCAT signals. Analog signals can thus be checked for plausibility within the

logic.

Certified function blocks such as ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, and also more complex ones such as Counter, Limit or Compare are available

for the processing of analog signals.
