• AM Modules (Axis Power): Supporting additional axes via common DC-bus connection

Advanced Safety Functions

Safe Speed Monitoring (SSM)

• Monitors motor speed to ensure it remains within a safe threshold.

• Supports:

  • Safe Limited Speed (SLS)

  • Safe Stop (SS)

  • Door Control (DC)

  • Lock Monitoring (LM)

  • Enabling Switch Monitoring (ESM)

Safe Torque-Off (STO)

• Safely disables drive output to eliminate motor torque.

• Allows maintenance tasks without full power disconnection.

• Reduces system downtime and machine restart times.

• Eliminates need for external safety contactors and relays, saving cost and panel space.

System Components Overview

• ControlLogix Controllers (L6X/L7X): Up to 100 axes per controller.

• Stratix Switches: Enable robust, flexible network topologies.

• Fiber-Optic Cables:

  • 2090-SCEPx-x (CPE)

  • 2090-SCVPx-x (PVC)

  • 2090-SCNPx-x (Nylon)

  • 2090-SCVGx-x (Glass PVC)
