Eliminates fault masking

Offering new dimensions of scalability, diagnostic insight and I/O connection capacity within a compact space and at a competitive cost, the SICK Flexi Loop is suitable when upgrading automation, robotics and modern manufacturing processes.

SICK’s Dr Martin Kidman said:  “The new SICK Flexi Loop permits the series connection of dual channel devices, whilst allowing high diagnostic coverage and eliminating the potential for so called fault masking. It is a fully open system and can accommodate standard sensor/switch devices from any vendor. As a field I/O system, it allows a designer to connect any safety system in series with another without any compromise of the safety system performance to PLe integrity.”
