Advantages

Modular, flexible and powerful

Flexi Loop makes it possible to safely connect up to 32 sensors in series. Flexi Loop is easily mounted and configured, and it continuously outputs diagnostic data on the status of your sensors. You can view the resulting status information at the machine or in the configuration software.


From simple to complex: Adjust the safety controller precisely to your system

Intuitive in every detail


The Flexi Soft Designer configuration software makes it easy to configure, document and evaluate applications in the Flexi Soft safety controller. The result: Efficient engineering without additional costs.
Simple and efficient: Get your system up and running quickly using configuration software

Clever combination of functions


Safe Motion Monitoring and Control combines the “Measure”, “Monitoring” and “Control” functions. Safe Motion Monitoring and Control continuously monitors the speed and position of motors. This means that there are no dangerous movements, which results in higher availability of your machine and less scrap.

The Safe EFI-pro system is suitable for use in demanding robotic applications and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Easily network safety laser scanners and safety encoders with the Flexi Soft safety controller. The system ensures a safe exchange of sensor data and diagnostic information.
Universal and connected: Benefit from additional efficiency while the machine is running
