Preventa Safety Controllers (XPS MCM / MF)
When a machine has more than a handful of safety functions, individual relays stop being practical. The XPS MCM configurable controller and the XPS MF safety PLC put all functions — e-stops, guard doors, light curtains, muting, two-hand control, safe speed — into one configurable device with expansion I/O, so the safety architecture is documented, repeatable and diagnosable from a single point instead of being spread across a wiring diagram.
Key characteristics
- Configurable safety logic with pre-certified function blocks
- Main module plus expansion I/O modules on DIN rail
- Up to PL e / Category 4 and SILCL 3 for the whole function chain
- USB configuration, password protection and per-channel diagnostics
- Optional fieldbus gateway for diagnostics to the PLC and HMI
Typical applications
Machines and lines combining several safety functions in one architecture
