Flexi Net: A Dynamic Safety Controller for Modern Machines & Networked Plants

Flexi Net is a powerful safety controller up to PL e for modern machines and networked plants. The scalable control architecture enables CPU expansion by up to twelve modules, such as Flexi IOs and gateways, as well as the networking of several machines in a production line. Flexi Net provides the ability to configure up to 512 function blocks in the logic, especially for complex applications.

TÜV-certified modules make engineering much easier. Cycle times of just 4 ms underscore the performance of Flexi Net. Sensors can be flexibly integrated into the safety controller – also via EFI pro and Flexi Loop. Safe Motion via integrated HTL inputs and application-specific function blocks also meets the requirements of mobile robots.

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
