Local safety IO modules reduce system costs

250131_MitsNew from Mitsubishi Electric are the MELSEC iQ-R safety local IO modules, featuring the RX40NC6S-TS and RY48PT20S-TS. These components are designed to enhance the lineup, increase efficiency and reduce safety costs in industrial automation.

The MELSEC iQ-R safety local IO modules offer significant advantages in industries where precision and safety are paramount. By eliminating the need for additional safety relays, the safety output module (RY48PT20S-TS) supports a maximum load of 2A per point, totalling 16A, ensuring cost savings and optimising cabinet space. This expansion of the safety lineup allows businesses to control machines and processes without compromising safety.

The compact design of the safety local IO modules allows for seamless integration next to your iQ-R safety modules. With 16 single input points on the RX40NC6S-TS and 8 single output points on the RY48PT20S-TS, these modules offer flexibility and high-speed safety digital IO, catering to the diverse needs of industries such as automotive, food and beverage, life sciences and machine builder. It’s crucial for keeping workers safe and ensuring the factory runs without accidents.

Direct connection to the MELSEC iQ-R bus ensures faster reaction times, enhancing operational efficiency compared to safety over ethernet solutions. This advancement not only boosts productivity but also underscores Mitsubishi Electric’s commitment to delivering innovative, reliable solutions for industrial automation.
