Overview
Safe EFI-pro system is the result of the consistent development of the successful EFI interface and enables intelligent safeguarding of AGVs, robots and other challenging applications. The industrial Ethernet-based EFI-pro network technology enables the quick exchange and transmission of safe and non-safe data throughout all levels of communication. The central component is the EFI-pro gateway. It ensures safe and fast integration of innovative sensor solutions from SICK as well as direct integration of robot controls into the Flexi Soft safety controller via EtherNet/IPTM CIP SafetyTM. The Safe EFI-pro system is therefore a crucial enabler for implementing Industry 4.0.

Advantages
Optimal interplay
Safe networking via EFI-pro guarantees an optimal interplay in the safety system, thereby enabling the use of innovative sensor functions in challenging safety applications.
Safe productivity
Up to six microScan3 safety laser scanners can be networked to ensure safe and adaptive recording of the environment. Every device offers up to eight simultaneously monitorable protective fields and up to 128 monitoring cases. Together with the safe motion control function of the Flexi Soft safety controller, monitoring cases can be adapted dynamically to the respective monitored area - for optimally productive collaborating machines.
