Information About EK1960-2600
The EK1960-2600 is part of Beckhoff’s TwinSAFE family, developed for distributed machine safety applications. As a compact EtherCAT coupler with built-in TwinSAFE logic, it supports direct connection of safety inputs and outputs while executing safety-related logic independently. The controller can be scaled with EtherCAT I/O terminals for expanded system requirements. Typical applications include packaging machinery, robotic work cells, and multi-axis production systems requiring distributed safety management.
Key Features:
- All-in-One Safety Controller: Integrates EtherCAT coupler, logic, inputs, and outputs.
- EtherCAT Connectivity: Provides seamless integration into Beckhoff automation networks.
- TwinSAFE Logic Engine: Executes programmable safety logic without external PLCs.
- Integrated Safety I/O: Supports connection of emergency stops, interlocks, and safety outputs.
- DIN-Rail Mounting: Compact housing for space-saving panel installations.
- High Safety Certification: Meets SIL3 (IEC 61508) and PL e (ISO 13849-1) standards.
- Expandable Design: Supports additional EtherCAT terminals for system scalability.
- Industrial Reliability: Rugged build for continuous use in demanding environments.
The EK1960-2600 delivers the reliability and precision required for decentralized functional safety in industrial automation.
