CIP Safety Module Enables ABB Drives

ABB introduces its CIP Safety^TM FSCS-21 Function Module compatible with its ACS380 (Machinery), ACS580 (General Purpose) and ACS880 (Industrial) series of drives. Certified by TUV, this easy-to-use, compact plug-in safety module enables seamless integration of ABB drives into a CIP Safety network with any CIP Safety PLC.

The module features two built-in safety functions: Safety Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1, time controlled (SS1-t), which meet machinery safety requirements up to SIL3/Ple. These ready-made safety functions require no special parameterization, software, or safety password – simply define the safety network number and EtherNet/IPTM communication settings and start running your ap-plication. Additional features include support for DLR ring networks and predefined safety and non-safety add-on instructions for advanced PLC integration.
