SICK Flexi Soft FX3-CPU130002 Safety Controller Main Module

The SICK Flexi Soft FX3-CPU130002 is the main module of the modular Flexi Soft safety controller. It runs the safety logic for emergency stops, light curtains, door switches and other safety devices and switches the connected safety outputs, replacing a row of separate safety relays with one programmable unit.

This variant provides two EFI interfaces and Flexi Link safe networking, and it is configured in the Flexi Soft Designer software. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Muscat, quotes the exact SICK type code and part number from the official data sheet.

Technical specifications

How a Flexi Soft system is built

The main module sits at the left of a DIN-rail stack and is connected to expansion modules, gateways and I/O modules through the system plug and the FLEXBUS+ backplane. The system plug has to be ordered separately, as the data sheet states, and holds the configuration. A fieldbus gateway such as a PROFINET module can be added when safety diagnostics must reach the PLC.

Safe communication and configuration

The two EFI interfaces connect compatible SICK safety devices such as safety light curtains and laser scanners with safe device communication, and Flexi Link allows safe networking between Flexi Soft controllers. The project is created on a PC with Flexi Soft Designer and transferred over the RS-232 interface on the front of the module.

Selection and what to confirm

Compared with discrete safety relays, a programmable module reduces wiring and makes changes a software task, and the integrated EFI links reduce the number of terminals used for SICK sensors. It suits packaging lines, robot cells, press brakes and conveyor lines where several guards and emergency stops are combined. Use the safety rating as a building block only; the final rating of a safety function depends on the complete chain. See the PLC and I/O category for related controllers. Please confirm before ordering: the number of safety inputs and outputs needed, the required system plug, expansion and gateway modules, EFI devices and the supply current limit of 4 A.

How the SICK FX3-CPU130002 works

The FX3-CPU130002 reads the signals of the connected safety devices, runs the safety program stored in the system plug and switches the safety outputs. If a device reports a fault or a demand, such as a pressed emergency stop, the program drives the outputs to the safe state. The module also checks itself and its connections, so a hidden fault is turned into a safe stop instead of staying unnoticed.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance notes for the FX3-CPU130002

Snap the stack onto the DIN rail with the main module on the left and fit the system plug. Wire the 24 V DC supply and the safety devices. Create the project in Flexi Soft Designer, transfer it over the RS-232 port and verify every safety function before the machine runs. Keep the project file and its checksum for each machine.
