C15 Profisafe -> SafeLink -> SafetyMotion settings example

[giustola69]

Hi,

in attached file you'll find a guide relative to a test we did connection out C15 to a Profisafe PLC ( our MLC safelogic in the test ) to control via the SafeLink bus our CtrlX safety motion functions. I hope it will usefull to somebody else.

This document describes how to connect to a Profisafe PLC a C15. At this purpose the test was performed using a SafeLogic safety plc functional module mounted on an MLC75 as simulation of what could be a possible connection with a Siemens Profisafe PLC

The purpose of the test is to verify the operation and communication between a Profisafe machine safety PLC, for example Siemens, and our C15 safety PLC, this in order to provide a possible configuration of use of the Safety Motion functions of our CtrlX drive through precisely the use of a C15 safety PLC this to remedy the current absence of the Profisafe protocol within the CtrlX using the SafetyLink connection from C15 to the drives and the Profisafe connection between the C15 and the machine safety plc

@giustola69 , thanks. This might be helpful for others. Today we spoke about such a use case.

Please try to use the names and expressions that we created for Bosch Rexroth products and differentiates them from competitor products:

• The compact safety controllers are called SAFEX-C.1x and not only C1x. Only if we use exactly the expressions that are correct we can be sure to transfer the right message.
• The safe connection between SAFEX-C.1x and ctrlX DRIVE^plus (M5 option) is called ctrlX SAFETY^link
• SafeLink is a technology from Bihl+Wiedemann interconnecting several of their controllers (similar to Bosch Rexroth's Safe-Master-to-Master-Communication)
