The eloProg Modular Safety Controller from elobau – Flexible for Every Application

eloProg is a modular safety control system from elobau.  The eloProg system is flexible and cost effective for every application, large or small. Configuration is via simple, intuitive, easy to operate software.  It is easily integrated into existing safety concepts.

The eloProg base module is a standalone safety controller with built in I/O which can be used as an individual device, and also allows further expansion with additional local or remote I/O modules. There are various advantages with this approach, particularly with modular machine systems. There are a number of eloProg I/O module configurations which allows the designer to optimise 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.
  • Up to 14 additional eloProg I/O modules providing up to 128 safe inputs.
  • Up to 6 bus transfer modules for the decentralized positioning of I/O modules.
  • 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.
