The Allen-Bradley FLEX 5000 Analog Safety I/O Modules can help process operators meet fail-safe requirements and minimize related downtime risks in a wide range of process applications. They are ideal for process applications where speed or frequency measurement, temperature, pressure or flow sensor monitoring are required for functional safety protection.
The modules offer integrated safety with systematic capability up to SC 3. They are TÜV certified up to SIL 3, PLe, Cat. 4. They also can be mounted in the same I/O bank with standard FLEX 5000 I/O modules to reduce system costs and complexity.
With these module additions, the FLEX 5000 product family now includes a complete portfolio of discrete and analog fail-safe I/O modules for a wide range of applications. Users can simply choose the I/O that meets their operational needs.
