The ET 200pro safety motor starters Solution PROFIsafe is perfectly suited when safety technology on the control level is called for. Standard and safe communication are transmitted via a single bus system – PROFIBUS or PROFINET with PROFIsafe profile.

The modularity of the ET 200pro offers the possibility of realizing an easy conversion to PROFIsafe solutions using the F-Switch module. In connection with the 400 V disconnection module, a failsafe shutdown of the ET 200pro motor starters up to Cat. 4/SIL 3 is possible with PROFIsafe applications.

In addition, the high degree of protection IP65/67 does away with the on-site control cabinet.

F-Switch

The F-Switch is a failsafe electronic module for PROFIsafe safety applications. It is equipped with failsafe inputs and outputs for the reliable switching of the 24 V supply via backplane bus rails.

400 V Disconnecting Module

The 400 V disconnecting module can be employed for safety applications in connection with the F-Switch for PROFisafe.

It contains two contactors switched in series for a failsafe disconnection of the main circuit. The auxiliary supply of the device is realized via a safety bar in the backplane bus module.
