SX6 safety module – Level up Your Safety!

Safety at a new level.
With the 6th generation of its drive controllers, STOBER offers innovative solutions for the increasing demands in automation and mechanical engineering. With the SX6 safety module, all STÖBER drive controllers can be used in safety-related applications up to SIL 3, PL e (Cat. 4) in accordance with DIN 61800-5-2 and EN ISO 13849-1. The module monitors movements, reliably guides axes to safe states and can be seamlessly integrated into EtherCAT-based automation systems via the integrated Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE) interface.

Many ways to achieve machine safety.
The SX6 enables the classic stop functions Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Stop 2 (SS2). A special highlight: with multi-axis controllers, the STO function can be activated individually for each axis. In addition, Safely Limited Speed (SLS) and Safe Speed Range (SSR) ensure that the projected speed limits are always adhered to. Safe Direction (SDI) monitors the direction of movement, while Safely Limited Increment (SLI) limits the step size and Safe Operating Stop (SOS) ensures a safe standstill.
