eloProg modular safety controller is easy to configure

elobau is promoting its eloProg modular safety control system, which is easily integrated into existing safety concepts. This system is flexible and cost-effective for many applications, large or small, with configuration performed using intuitive, easy-to-operate software. The configuration software is free of charge when purchasing a base unit.

eloProg modular safety controller is easy to configure

The eloProg base module is a standalone safety controller with built-in I/O that can be used as an individual device, but also enables further expansion with additional local or remote I/O modules. This approach has several advantages, particularly with modular machinery. There are a number of eloProg I/O module configurations that enables the safety control system designer to optimise the use of I/O.

Features and benefits of the system are:

  • Base unit has integral I/O functionality
  • Maximum 14 additional eloProg I/O modules provide up to 128 safe inputs
  • Maximum six module stations
  • Up to 250m of bus cable length
  • Module-to-module local bus communication
  • Cost-effective wiring due to local bus transfer communication
  • All popular fieldbus protocols are available for diagnostic and operational integration
  • USB programming port on the base module
  • On-board memory card allows for data transfer without the use of a PC
