Function Features

• Dual Core Functions Integration

  It integrates the dual core capabilities of safety network control and 10Gigabit fiber transmission. It not only undertakes safety control tasks such as monitoring the operating status of on-site equipment and executing safety interlocking logic but also realizes high-speed and large-capacity transmission of industrial data. This integration reduces the number of separate devices in the system, simplifies the network structure, and lowers the difficulty of system integration and maintenance.

• Strong Expandability and Compatibility

  It supports connection with up to 64 I/O modules and can carry two SafetyNet controllers. Users can expand the number of controlled points and functional modules according to actual application needs. It is compatible with other GE Fanuc SafetyNet components and various industrial communication protocols, enabling seamless connection with existing industrial control systems without the need for large-scale equipment replacement.

• High Reliability Guaranteed by Redundancy and Protection

  The dual redundant power input design allows seamless switching in case of a single power supply failure, avoiding system downtime caused by power issues. The 5kV electrical isolation between the optical and electrical ports prevents equipment damage due to electrical interference. Its metal shell and strict manufacturing processes enhance its resistance to vibration and dust, ensuring a long service life and stable operation in harsh environments.

• Intelligent Remote Management

  It is equipped with LED indicators to display power, transmission rate, link status, and data transmission conditions in real-time. It supports a web management interface and SNMPv3 protocol, allowing managers to remotely monitor parameters such as the module’s optical power and operating temperature. The port mirroring function facilitates traffic analysis and precise positioning of network faults.
