Preventa XPS MCM

Schneider Electric extends its range of configurable safety modules with Preventa XPS MCM, that can monitor several safety functions simultaneously (emergency stop, control access to dangerous areas, speed monitoring of dangerous movements ...)

Ideal for safety applications that require compliance up to Performance Level E of EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 61508 SIL3, the basic version has eight static inputs and two outputs, it can be expanded with additional modules, directly on the module connector basis, to up to 128 dual chanel inputs and 16 outputs digital (relay or static) dual channel.
It is easy to increase the hardware configuration of the module XPSMCM, thanks to the wide selection of input, output, mixed module expansions for speed control. Remoted islands can be set up via the bus safety module: up to six islands with a maximum distance of 50 meters per island.
Designed to be simple and flexible, Preventa XPS MCM allows the designer to obtain the desired specifications, while reducing the number of components to be used and, consequently overall dimensions and the need for wiring.
The intuitive software and hardware layout optimizes safety system configuration operations.
The Preventa module can be connected anywhere, with a wide choice of communication bus modules.
This flexible and scalable solution enables standardization of safety monitoring devices for stand-alone machines plus lines with simple and complex machines. Moreover, to facilitate maintenance, the system can have a removable memory card to be used to transfer the program to a new module, or to allow modifications to the software configuration.
