Certified safety up to SIL3The requirements of the EC machinery directive and standards EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061 oblige machine manufacturers to implement more and more measures to protect people and machinery. Therefore, safety functions as per Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) are an integral part of Eckelmann’s range of solutions.

E°SLC Safety Logic Controller

The Safety Logic Controller E°SLC 204 is a programmable safety logic controller that allows for an easier completion of requirements than with the thus far conventional hard-ware based and wired logic.

The Safety I/O Module E°SLC SIO084 expands the Safety Logic Controller by additional safe inputs and outputs. Up to 10 safety I/O modules per controller can be employed.

It is possible to transmit the entire process image and the internal states of the safety module to the higher control and operating level via the CAN bus coupler E°SLC CAN.

Using the graphical configurator Safeconf, safety logics may easily be created and simulated per Drag & Drop. Data is transferred to the safety controller via USB.

Machine safety

E°Darc SCM Safety Controller Modul

For modern machinery, locking them completely is often insufficient when the safeguards are open. To be able to work effectively, the machines need to run with open safeguards for set-up and maintenance processes and to ensure the safety of the operators, only limited speeds and routes are permitted in such cases.

Using the parameterisable Safety Controller Module SCM together with the E°Darc drives, this task can be solved elegantly and most importantly without additional encoders. If the SCM detects an impermissible movement, the complete machine is immediately returned into a safe state. The module comes with certified safety functions up to SIL 3 or PL e.

E°Darc SSW standstill monitor

The SSW is based on an encoder module that is used to determine the position and speed of high-frequency spindles (up to 40,000 rpm). The system complies with the Safety Integrity Level 2 (EN 62061) or performance level d (DIN EN ISO 13849-1).

Benefits:

The target industries are diverse and reach from machine control, packaging industry and intralogistics to medical technology.

PLC solutions

Ethernet

CANopen®

In addition to the standard range of CODESYS, numerous functions and libraries are available that fully utilise the potential of the controller and quickly guide the user to his target.

64 at a stroke – Motion Control

Many machines and systems require the coordinated opera-tion of several servo axes. Here mechatronic solutions replace reliably, cost-effectively and flexibly the thus far predominant pure mechanical systems such as the conventional vertical shaft, gears and cam discs.

With the MC software library, Eckelmann controllers of the E°EXC range become complete Motion Control controllers. Their performance (up to 64 axes), the choice of interfaces and the size may be scaled as required for the individual machine task.

The programming of the motion sequences with the proven tool CODESYS is done using Eckelmann’s own PLCopen-certi-fied function library. The library is the result of long-standing application-oriented development and offers a solid founda-tion for innovative Motion Control applications. The E°EXC Controllers bring synchronisation and precision to perfection.

Applications

Motion Control solutions based on E°EXC fulfil the strictest precision and dynamics requirements, as for example in the following applications:

Rotary die cutting

Industrial sewing machines

Hose processing

Wafer handling

For the processing of watering hoses, Motion Control was intelligently combined with image processing. Thus, 2,000 integrated drip-dosing units per minute can be drilled precisely. A machine vision system monitors the drilling and performs on-the-fly measuring tasks that are used for the automatic fine-tuning in the double head drilling
