GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SAFEMASTER PRO is a configurable safety system. It consists of a control unit UG 6911.10, which can be
configured using the SAFEMASTER PRO DESIGNER graphic interface, and a number of expansion modules
connected to the control unit UG 6911.10 via the proprietary IN-RAIL-BUS.
For diagnostic over the main fieldbus, following fieldbus modules are available: UG 6951 (CanOpen),
UG 6952 (PROFIBUS), UG 6954 (PROFINET), UG 6955 (Ethernet IP), UG 6956 (EtherCAT),
UG 6957 (Universal Serial Bus), UG 6958 (MODBUS TCP/IP) and UG 6959 (MODBUS RTU).
SAFEMASTER PRO is capable of monitoring the following safety sensors and commands:
Optoelectronic sensors (safety light curtains, scanners, safety photocells), mechanical switches, safety mats,
emergency stops, two-hand controls, all managed by a single flexible and expandable device.
The system must consist of just one control unit UG 6911.10 (or UG 6911.12/080) and a number of electronic
expansions that can range from 0 to a maximum of 14, not more than 4 of which of the same type. There is no
limit to the number of relay units that can be installed.
With 14 expansions, the system can have up to 128 inputs, 16 dual channel safety outputs and 16 Status
outputs. The CONTROL UNIT and its SLAVE units communicate via the 5-pole IN-RAIL-BUS (proprietary bus),
physically arranged on the rear panel of each unit.
Furthermore 8 inputs and 16 outputs probe controllable (by Fieldbus) are available.
The SAFEMASTER PRO DESIGNER software is capable of creating complex logics, using logical operators
and safety functions such as muting, timer, counters, etc.
All this is performed through an easy and intuitive graphic interface.
The configuration performed on the PC is sent to the control unit UG 6911.10 (or UG 6911.12/080) via USB
connection; the file resides in the control unit UG 6911.10 (or UG 6911.12/080) and can also be saved on the
proprietary OA 6911 memory chip (accessory). The configuration can therefore quickly be copied to another
control unit UG 6911.10 (or UG 6911.12/080) unit.
The SAFEMASTER PRO system is certified to the maximum safety level envisaged by the applicable
industrial safety standards (SIL 3, SILCL 3, PL e, Cat. 4).
FIELDBUS MODULES
• The fieldbus modules UG 6951, UG 6952, UG 6954, UG 6955, UG 6956, UG 6957, UG 6958 and UG 6959 permit
the connection to the most commonly used industrial fieldbus systems for diagnostics and data transmission. They
also offer the option of making 8 non-safety relevant inputs (fieldbus inputs) available to the circuit diagram of the
SAFEMASTER PRO system and making the status of 16 points (UG 6911.10) or 32 points (UG 6911.12/080) in
the circuit diagram available to the fieldbus as output information. The fieldbus modules are described in detail
in a separate document on dhe CD “SAFEMASTER PRO Designer” supplied with the control unit UG 6911.10.
