SIC100

Cost-effective 1oo2 safety architecture based on two Cortex M4 controllers
with local safe inputs and outputs, as well as optional fieldbus connection.

The SIC100 is a low-cost safety hardware platform with 1oo2 architecture to achieve a SIl3 according to IEC61508 and performance level e and category 4 according to ISO13849. The two channels are implemented by a Cortex M4 microcontroller. A total of 16 safe digital inputs, 8 safe digital outputs and two SSI encoders can be connected. The safe digital inputs are type 3 inputs as defined in IEC61131-2. The safe digital outputs are short-circuit protected and fulfill the requirements of IEC61131-2. The power supply of the platform can be either 24VDC or 5VDC. A fieldbus connection is possible via an additional netX52 fieldbus controller.


SIC10E

Safety Module with a 1oo2 safety architecture based on one Cortex A7 and one Cortex M4 controller and a local fieldbus connection, as well as the possibility to expand local safe inputs and outputs.

The SIC10E is a safety hardware platform with 1oo2 architecture to achieve a SIL3 according to IEC61508 and performance level e and category 4 according to ISO13489. By implementing the first channel with a Cortex A7, the platform has a local EtherCAT Slave and Profinet Slave interface. The SIC10E is a plug-in module, so that it can be integrated into customer-specific hardware. A total of 16 safe digital inputs and 8 safe digital outputs can be connected. The safe IOs are GPIOs of the two microcontrollers, so that custom-specific physical input and output can be used. In addition, the platform has one SSI encoder input per microcontroller channel.

For development purposes, an IO board with 8 safe digital inputs and 4 safe digital outputs is also available. The safe digital inputs are type 3 inputs as defined in IEC61131-2. The safe digital outputs are short-circuit protected and fulfill the requirements of IEC61131-2. For customer specific applications the usRTS is integrated on the SIC10E.


SIC90e

High-performance 1oo2 safety architecture based on two Cortex A9 controllers
and a local fieldbus connection.

The SIC90e is a powerful hardware platform based on Cortex A9 microcontrollers in 1oo2 architecture. The platform fulfills the requirement of a SIL3 according to IEC61508 and performance level e and category 4 according to ISO13489.  Powerful Cortex A9 microcontrollers are used as microcontrollers for both channels. The module has a local EtherCAT slave and PROFINET slave fieldbus connection. Additionally, an Ethernet interface is available as engineering interface. The power supply is provided via 24VDC. TheSIC90e is the ideal hardware platform for PLC applications. With the usRTS a powerful safe and non-safe PLC is integrated on this platform.
