This video demonstrates different machine conditions using a three axes system with SafeMotion functionality, managed with the compact ctrlX SAFETY system SAFEX-C.15 using Safety over EtherCAT.
The system consists of the ctrlX CORE machine control, the compact ctrlX SAFETY control and ctrlX DRIVE connected with EtherCAT.
The ctrlX SAFETY control manages all the safety input devices and enables SafeMotion when guarding is open. EtherCAT is used for system data exchange between the ctrlX CORE machine control, ctrlX SAFETY system, and ctrlX DRIVE converter and inverter.
