The eloProg modular safety controller – flexible for every application

The eloProg base module is a standalone safety controller in its own right, with built in I/O which can be used as an individual device, but also allows further expansion with additional local or remote I/O modules. This approach has several advantages, particularly with modular machine systems. There are a number of eloProg I/O module configurations which allows the designer to optimize the use of I/O allocation. The configuration software is free of charge with the base unit.

Features and benefits of the system are:

• Base unit has I/O functionality.
• Maximum 14 additional eloProg I/O modules providing up to 128 safe inputs.
• Maximum 6 module stations.
• Up to 250 metres of bus cable length.
• Module to module local bus communication.
• Cost effective wiring due to a 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 data transfer without the use of a PC.

eloProg specifications

eloProg safety controllers operate from 24V DC and have a maximum switching voltage of 250V AC or 30V DC, with a maximum switching current of 6A. The base unit comes with 8 safe inputs, 2 safe outputs, 4 test outputs, 2 control outputs and 2 EDM inputs. The eloProg base module, and expansion modules, can be used with a variety of I/O devices, e.g. emergency stop switches, safety sensors, guard switches, safety light curtains, laser scanners and two-hand controls.

eloProg is safety rated to SIL 3, PL e and safety category 4, and is UL approved.
