Molex Brad EtherNet/IP CIP safety HarshIO modules
Molex announces Brad EtherNet/IP CIP safety HarshIO modules
Featuring CIP safety technology, Brad EtherNet/IP CIP Safety HarshIO Modules are IP67 IO modules designed for connecting industrial safety controllers to sensors and actuators in harsh duty environments to permit the durable and reliable automation of safety systems
Features
- Permits on-machine installation in harsh environments, withstanding shock, high vibration and high temperatures without the need for a protective cabinet
- Module is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, is potted with resin and uses metallic connectors
- Reduces commissioning time with Ultra-Lock™ M12 push-to-lock technology
- Uses the fastest, easiest and most secure M12 connection solution and accepts both threaded cordsets and Ultra-Lock™ connectors
- Helps ensure safety and reliability with TÜV- and ODVA-certified design
- Conforms to EN 61508 SIL3 and Cat4 PLe according to ISO 13849-1 with a mission time exceeding 20 years
- Meets environmental demands with commercial- and industrial-grade options
- Modules are available in commercial- grade options or industrial-grade options that are capable of operation in -25 to +70°C temperature ranges
- Enhances versatility and design flexibility with multiple options available
- Options include 4- or 5-pin Mini- Change power connectors, 12 safe inputs plus 2 bipolar or 4 sourcing safe outputs, connection of single- or dual-channel safety devices and can connect to both standard and safety- rated sensors
- Speeds module replacement while eliminating special tools or recommissioning
- Overmolded memory key stores the module’s configuration
- Enables the use of daisy-chain wiring to wire an entire application without switches
- Integrated two-port switch design and DLR support for Ethernet redundancy permits cost savings thanks to simplified system design
