CIP Safety function module, FSCS-21

CIP Safety™ functions module, FSCS-21

Protect your people, machinery, and processes

FSCS-21 is an easy-to-use, cost-efficient and compact safety functions module for connecting drives seamlessly to a safety PLC. This is enabled through the EtherNet/IP™ communication protocol. Common Industrial Protocol (CIP Safety) over EtherNet/IP enables a single-cable solution for safety and non-safety control.
The module is easy to install and configure and is suitable for ensuring the safety of equipment that reduces the risk of accidents for people working with machinery such as conveyors, cranes, and amusement park rides, etc.
- Compatible drives: ACS380, ACS580, ACS880
- Offered safety functions: Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1-t)

Ensure safety in demanding applications

Easy to use

Seamless network integration of drives with safety PLCs

Space and cost savings

ABB drives with the integrated TÜV-certified CIP Safety functions module make your machines and processes safe.

The FSCS-21 can be used for demanding applications (SIL3/PLe).

No safety parameters or safety passwords are required in a drive – simply define the safety network number and EtherNet/IP communication settings and start to run your motor.

With FSCS-21 you can seamlessly connect drives of different types and sizes with any safety PLC that supports the CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP communication protocol for safety communication and EtherNet/IP for drive control over a single Ethernet cable.

FSCS-21 lowers total cost by reducing the amount of hardware and simplifying engineering, while its compact size saves space. With only a single Ethernet cable required, there is no need for external components like safety relays.
