The EL1918 TwinSAFE component is a digital input terminal for sensors

with potential-free contacts for 24 V DC. The EtherCAT terminal has eight

fail-safe inputs, which are transmitted via FSoE to a TwinSAFE Logic-capable

component.

The EL1918 has safety parameters to specifically adapt the functionality to

the respective safety requirements. Thus, for example,test pulses can be

configured with fine granularity for all eight channels in order to be able

to connect as many types of sensors as possible.

The safety parameters are not stored directly on the component, but are

transmitted to the input terminal via a TwinSAFE Logic capable component

when the safety application is started. This simplifies service procedures,

because the component can simply be replaced.

Special features EL1918:

• 8 safe inputs

• integrated TwinSAFE Logic (functionality similar to the EL6910)

• up to 128 safe connections

• fine granular configuration of the test pulses of the individual channels

For applications without integrated TwinSAFE Logic, the EL1918-2200 can

be used.

Special features EL1918-2200:

• 8 safe inputs

• fine granular configuration of the test pulses of the individual channels

• TwinSAFE Logic not integrated
