Product Description:
The KSM 100-1-EC is a safety controller module produced by Kollmorgen within the KSM Safety Solution Modules series. It serves as the central logic element in machinery where motion must be stopped or allowed only under predefined risk levels. It is intended for automated equipment that must coordinate emergency-stop chains, protective doors, and monitored motion functions from one safety node. The module uses safety-rated inputs and outputs to supervise drives, guards, and emergency circuits across an automation cell.
The unit connects to higher-level PLCs through an EtherCAT port that moves data at 100 Mbit/s in full-duplex mode, so diagnostic telegrams and safe motion commands share the same network. Internal electronics are supplied with 24 VDC at up to 2 A, while each digital input is sensed at 20 mA to satisfy Type 1 sensing requirements. Fourteen safe inputs, eight OSSD channels, and two safe semiconductor outputs are complemented by one safety relay. This arrangement gives the module flexibility to evaluate light curtains, door switches, and torque-off signals. Outputs can source 24 VDC at 250 mA, which is adequate for driving contactors or status lamps without external relays. When configured according to IEC 61508, the device attains a performance level of PL e and a safety integrity level of SIL 3, allowing it to form part of Category 4 architectures in presses, palletizers, and robotic cells.
Total power draw is limited to 3.2 W, keeping thermal load low inside cabinets rated to 50 °C. The housing measures 100 x 115 x 90 mm, which helps save rail space, and up to six expansion slices can be added for additional I/O or fieldbus gateways. An enclosure rating of IP 52 protects the electronics against settled dust and dripping water, and the calculated probability of dangerous failure is 6.0E-9 per hour, matching Class 4 targets for continuous operation. The compact form leaves room for adjacent control hardware, while the expansion option supports larger machine sections without replacing the base controller.
