Specifications for the safety control unit SF-C21

 

The safety control unit SF-C21 can do the work of four safety relay units. Therefore, much less wiring is required. With its compact size (height 97 mm x width 45 mm), it can be installed even in narrow spaces. The status of the safety control unit can be monitored easily with a PLC. The SF-C21 provides four auxiliary semiconductor outputs (PNP). Other automation control devices such as PLCs, HMIs, etc. can monitor of the SF-C21 via RS485 communications (MODBUS RTU) and get information about the status, the selected logic, and possible errors. However, the SF-C21 cannot be controlled by an external device such as a PLC.

Users do not need any programming skills because the safety control unit SF-C21 is equipped with a preset logic. Simply turn the rotary switch to select one of the eight preset logics. They are safety-certified and compatible up to control category 4 PLe.

For users wanting to create a reliable safety circuit, we recommend using our software Configurator SF-C. Again, you do not need any programming skills.
