MCX-IPC + Safety
Safety Meets Performance

For development environments and industrial applications where safety is critical, the MCX-IPC Safety Kit combines high-performance computing with built-in safety functions. Designed to comply with strict safety standards, it ensures operators and equipment are always protected.

MCX-IPC + Safety

Operate your machine safely with this Motorcortex Safety Kit

A plug-and-play Motion Control and Safety System. This Kit gives you everything you need to safely work with any EtherCAT based machine. It is already mounted on a DIN rail, so you just have to mount it into your cabinet and connect the EtherCAT interface of your machine components. It includes power supplies and an Emergency-Stop button. The system is certifiable to the highest safety standards (SIL3/PLe).

Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE)

No additional wiring for your safety system

Plug and Play

Plug in your EtherCAT drives and turn on the power

Safety out of the box

Emergency stop function already implemented, so you can safely work with your machine

Flexible Expandability

Extend the Safety PLC program with additional functions or I/O
