UE 100 Series safety controllers include two models, UE 440 and UE 470, said to offer more advanced functions and flexibility than a safety relay without the complexity and cost of a safety PLC. UE 440 is a configurable device for comprehensive implementation of safety applications, such as safeguarding multiple robot cells at one time. UE 470 is in-tended for the safety requirements of press braking applications. Series offers 15 single-channel inputs; up to seven can be configured as two-channel inputs. Two safety connections (Cat. 4, SIL 3) for electro-sensitive protective equipment can support configuration and diagnostics. Eight outputs, two of which are safe output pairs, allow control of down-stream plant components.
