Your Benefits

  • Cascading of safety switches and safety sensors with OSSD outputs minimizes the wiring effort and the number of inputs of the safety controller, which saves costs
  • Easy retrofitting of existing machines
  • Simple calculation of the performance level saves time since the Flexi Loop node monitors each sensor individually
  • User-friendly due to quick and easy configuration
  • Ability to be used over long distances increases application flexibility
  • Detailed diagnostic information minimizes system downtime
  • Seamless system integration and communication with other SICK safety controllers
  • Detailed status information on Flexi Loop components, diagnostics accessories, and safety controller enable quick and easy field diagnostics

Cost-saving, safe sensor cascade with diagnostic function

The Flexi Loop can cascade up to 32 sensors while maintaining the highest performance level e. Safety switches and safety sensors with OSSD outputs can be used together regardless of the sensor manufacturer. In addition, for each sensor or switch there are detailed diagnostic information available. Integrated switching signals allow for the use of interlocks, switches and lamps. All sensors are supplied with power directly from the Flexi Loop. Unscreened standard cables are used with M12 plugs. In total Flexi Loop guarantees the highest level of security. Cascading sensors reduces the amount of wiring and the number of safety inputs in the control cabinet. It also provides a comprehensive diagnostic check of all doors, emergency stop pushbuttons and sensors. In conjunction with the Flexi Soft and the Flexi Classic, the entire safety application is able to cost-effectively meet customer needs.
