increasing efficiency and reducing costs

Mitsubishi Electric Europe has announced the launch of Melsec iQ-R local safety IO modules, models RX40NC6S-TS and RY48PT20S-TS. These components are designed to expand the product offering, increase efficiency and reduce safety costs in industrial automation.

Melsec iQ-R local safety IO modules offer significant benefits in industries where precision and safety are of paramount importance. By eliminating the need for additional safety relays, the safety output module (RY48PT20S-TS) supports a maximum load of 2A per point, 16A in total, ensuring cost savings and optimizing cabinet space. This expansion of the safety offering enables companies to control machines and processes without compromising safety.

The compact design of the local safety IO modules allows seamless integration alongside your iQ-R safety modules. With 16 individual input points on the RX40NC6S-TS and 8 individual output points on the RY48PT20S-TS, these modules provide flexibility and fast digital safety IO, meeting the diverse needs of industries such as automotive, food and beverage, life sciences and engineering. This is critical to keep workers safe and ensure accident-free factory operations.

The direct connection to the Melsec LSEC iQ-R bus provides faster response times and improves operational efficiency compared to Safety over Ethernet solutions. This advancement not only increases productivity but also underscores Mitsubishi Electric's commitment to delivering innovative, reliable solutions for industrial automation.
