SICK FX3-CPU000000 Main Safety Controller Module

Product Dimensions：

The SICK FX3-CPU000000 is the main processing unit of the highly modular Flexi Soft safety controller family. It is an intelligent, software-programmable safety controller designed to monitor complex safety applications in industrial automation, replacing traditional, rigid safety relays.

Product Detailed Description

The FX3-CPU000000 acts as the “brain” of the Flexi Soft system. It coordinates all connected expansion modules (digital I/O, motion control, analog inputs) and handles communication gateways (like EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus). The configuration is created using the free, intuitive Flexi Soft Designer software and is stored safely on an external configuration plug (ordered separately), allowing for effortless module replacement without a PC.

Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• Modular Scalability: It allows the system to expand efficiently from simple machines up to complex plants, saving space compared to individual safety relays.
• Smart Memory Plug: The system configuration is saved on the Flexi Soft Memory Plug (FX3-MPL). If a CPU fails, a maintenance worker can swap the hardware and plug the old memory plug into the new unit—no PC or reprogramming required.
• Fast Response Time: Features highly optimized internal logic processing to ensure fast safety shutdown response times (typically down to single-digit milliseconds plus module time).
• Easy Diagnostics: Provides instant on-device diagnostics via LEDs and supports extensive diagnostic byte transfer to a standard PLC via network gateways.
• Free Configuration Software: The Flexi Soft Designer software provides an offline simulation mode and a drag-and-drop interface, drastically reducing engineering time.

Important Considerations & Precautions

• System Plug Required: The FX3-CPU000000 cannot function without a system memory plug (e.g., FX3-MPL000001), which must be purchased separately.
• Power Supply Quality: The module must be supplied by a PELV (Protective Extra-Low Voltage) or SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) power supply unit to maintain its safety rating.
• No Onboard I/O: The CPU module itself does not have safety inputs or outputs. It must be paired with at least one I/O module (e.g., FX3-XTIO) to interface with physical switches or valves.
• Validation: After downloading any configuration, a complete function test and validation of the safety system are strictly mandatory according to machinery directives.

Product Applications

The SICK Flexi Soft CPU is used wherever multiple safety sensors need to be logically linked:

• Robotic Work Cells: Coordinating light curtains, safety laser scanners, E-stops, and door interlocking switches around a robot arm.
• Packaging Machinery: Managing complex safety zoning where separate parts of a machine need to switch off while others keep running.
• Material Handling & AGVs: Serving as the central safety controller on Automated Guided Vehicles to process data from safety scanners and encoders.
• Automotive Assembly: Linking multi-station safety setups across localized assembly line networks.
