With its 6th generation of drive controllers, STOBER offers innovative solutions for the increasing requirements in automation and mechanical engineering. The SX6 safety module is a brand new addition to the portfolio. It adds numerous safety functions to the range of functions of both SC6 and SI6 drive controllers. It is controlled via EtherCAT® (Fail Safe over EtherCAT, FSoE).
The SX6 enables the conventional Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Stop 2 (SS2) stop functions. A special highlight is that the STO function can be activated individually for each axis on multi-axis controllers. In addition, Safely-Limited Speed (SLS) and Safe Speed Range (SSR) ensure that the projected velocity limits are always adhered to. Safe Direction (SDI) monitors the direction of motion, while Safely-Limited Increment (SLI) limits the increment and Safe Operating Stop (SOS) ensures a safe standstill.
