Features and benefits

• Comprehensive safety solution

  Ixxat Functional Safety over EtherCAT® (FSoE) software delivers efficient industrial safety communication, providing a multitude of communication options and robust protocol management.

• Operating system independence

  The software functions with or without an operating system and enables implementation in a wide range of environments, for high flexibility in deployment.

• Multi-instance support for parallel functionality

  The FSoE software allows parallel instantiation, both for SubDevice and MainDevice functionality, providing a multitude of communication options for the safe applications with a single device.

• Flexible interface structure

  The clearly structured software interfaces and abstraction layers enable the use of different non-safe EtherCAT communication interfaces, such as the Anybus CompactCom Module.

• High safety level assurance

  Developed according to IEC 61508 for applications up to SIL 3, in compliance with the latest FSoE Specification, the software ensures a high standard of safety and reliable performance.

• Simplified integration and recertification

  Easy porting and (re-)certification of FSoE software on customer-specific platforms thanks to the included unit tests and the safety manual, along with clearly separated adaptation layers.

• User-friendly setup

  The best way to assess the FSoE software is through a PC example application, along with the safety manual guiding through integration, testing procedures, and configuration steps for the software.

• Tailored implementation

  Provided as C source code, allowing for customized integration into secure platforms and creating a solution for various requirements.

• Supported standards and platforms

  Standard: FSoE Specification ETG.5100 (implemented according to latest standard implemented and tested) / Platforms: PC demo, conformance tested, pre-certified by TÜV Rheinland

• 12-month maintenance separately available

  Optional 12-month updates and maintenance can be purchased separately, ensuring the software stays current and well-maintained for optimal performance and security.
