Safe bar code positioning system
The world's first safety bar code positioning system, FBPS 600i, requires just one sensor for safe position detection. The device is connected to a safe evaluation unit via two SSI interfaces or to a safety controller via PROFIsafe and is suitable for applications up to Performance Level e. This allows easy implementation of safety functions and a reduction in space and installation requirements.
FBPS 600i – Safe Bar Code Positioning System up to PL e
Expanded Interface Options for Greater Flexibility
The FBPS 600i series offers safe position detection with just one sensor, streamlining integration and setup. With the addition of a PROFIsafe interface, the system now opens up new possibilities for flexible and efficient safety applications.
Two Versatile Models to Suit Your Needs:
FBPS 648i
Connects directly to a safety PLC via PROFIsafe. Thanks to its integrated switch, a linear topology can be easily configured. It also features a non-safe SSI interface for direct connection to a drive’s frequency inverter (FI). Configuration is simple via the hardware manager using GSDML or FI settings.FBPS 6x7i
Interfaces via two SSI connections to a safe evaluation unit, such as a frequency inverter or safety controller.
Both models support applications requiring safe positioning up to Performance Level e (PL e), enabling straightforward implementation of safety functions while reducing installation and maintenance costs.
Features and benefits
- Safe positioning with just one device up to Performance Level e (PL e).
- Direct connection to safe frequency inverters or safety controls (F-PLC).
- Compact design with low space requirements and simplified installation.
- Particularly straightforward safety function implementation.
- Short braking distances and optimised speeds thanks to a fast error response of just 10 ms – ideal for use on fast stacker cranes and electric monorail systems.
- Reliable operation thanks to simultaneous scanning of multiple codes as well as extremely robust, UV-resistant bar code tape.
- Large working range from 50 mm to 170 mm for a wide range of applications with curves.
- Sophisticated mounting system for easy installation and seamless integration.
The new FBPS 648i model rounds out the portfolio of positioning sensors with PROFIsafe and the combined SSI interface.
