eloProg - Vers. 1.0
7
OVERVIEW
eloProg is a modular safety controller. It consists of a master unit
(485EPB)
, which can be
configured using the configuration software graphic interface, and a number of expansion
units connected via the proprietary bus.
The master unit can also be used as a stand-alone device. It has 8 safety inputs and 2
independent programmable dual channel outputs.
Î
The following expansions are available:
Î
I/O expansion
(485EPE08A02
)
Î
input expansions
(485EPE08 and 485EPE16)
Î
output expansions
(485EPA02 and 485EPA04)
Î
guided contact safety relay output modules
(485EPR02 and 485EPR04)
Î
diagnostic connections to the main field buses:
485EPFPD
(PROFIBUS),
485EPFCO
(CanOpen)
, 485EPFDN
(DeviceNet)
.
eloProg 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 Master 485EPB and a number of electronic
expansions that can range from 0 to a maximum of 7, not more than 4 of the same type.
There is no limit to the number of relay modules that can be installed.
With 7 expansions, the system can have up to 72 inputs and 8 dual channel safety
outputs. The MASTER and its SLAVE units communicate via the 5-way bus sensor,
physically arranged on the rear panel of each unit.
The configuration 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 basic module via USB connection;
the file resides in the basic module and can also be saved on the memory chip 350EPS
(accessory). The configuration can therefore quickly be copied to another basic module.
Î
The eloProg system is certified to the maximum safety level envisaged by the applicable
industrial safety standards (SIL 3, SILCL 3, PL e, Cat. 4).
