Consistent and safe communication facilitates the commissioning and operation of machines and systems. The COMBIVERT F6 and Servo Drives S6 drive controllers from KEB Automation offer integrated safety functions directly in the drive. In the “APPLICATION” device variant, Ethernet-based bus systems can be switched via software, thus enabling a flexible fieldbus connection to the higher-level control level, for example via PROFINET. Communication via the safe PROFIsafe fieldbus protocol has now been integrated and certified in the devices. This reduces the amount of wiring required in the application.
Drives with integrated safety are integrated into the Siemens TiA-Portal PROFINET network using the GSD files that have been checked for conformity in advance. Based on this, safe fieldbus communication between various F-Devices (safety devices) is realised. With the COMBIVERT F6 and S6 APPLICATION drive controllers (with type 3 safety module), the corresponding encoder-related safety functions can be selected and used via the configuration. The device series cover a wide power range from 0.75 kW to 450 kW and can be used for the operation of different motor technologies.
