2.1Extension of the Beckhoff I/O system with safety
functions
The TwinSAFE products from Beckhoff enable convenient expansion of the Beckhoff I/O system with safety
components, and integration of all the cabling for the safety circuit within the existing fieldbus cable. Safe
signals can be mixed with standard signals as required. The transfer of safety-related TwinSAFE telegrams
is handled by the standard controller. Maintenance is simplified significantly thanks to faster diagnosis and
simple replacement of components.
The following basic functionalities are included in the TwinSAFE components:
digital inputs (e.g. EL19xx, EP1908), digital outputs (e.g. EL29xx), drive components (e.g. AX5805) and logic
units (e.g. EL6900, EL6910). For a large number of applications, the complete safety sensor and actuator
technology can be wired on these components. The required logical link of the inputs and the outputs is
handled by the EL69xx. In addition to Boolean operations, the EL6910 now also enables analog operations.
2.2Safety concept
TwinSAFE: Safety and I/O technology in one system
• Extension of the familiar Beckhoff I/O system with TwinSAFE components
• Safe and non-safe components can be combined as required
• Logical link of the I/Os in the EL69xx TwinSAFE logic terminal
• Suitable for applications up to SIL3 according to EN61508:2010 and Cat4, PLe according to
ENISO13849-1:2015
• Safety-relevant networking of machines via bus systems
• In the event of an error, all TwinSAFE components always switch to the wattless and therefore safe
state
• No safety requirements for the higher-level standard TwinCAT system
Safety over EtherCAT protocol (FSoE)
• Transfer of safety-relevant data via any media (“genuine black channel”)
• TwinSAFE communication via fieldbus systems such as EtherCAT, Lightbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET
or Ethernet
• IEC 61508:2010 SIL 3 compliant
• FSoE is IEC standard (IEC 61784-3-12) and ETG standard (ETG.5100)
Fail-safe principle (fail stop)
The basic rule for a safety system such as TwinSAFE is that failure of a part, a system component or the
overall system must never lead to a dangerous condition. The safe state is always the switched off and
wattless state.
CAUTION
Safe state
For all TwinSAFE components the safe state is always the switched-off, wattless state.

3.1General description
EK1960 – TwinSAFE-Compact-Controller
The EK1960 is a TwinSAFE controller with 20 fail-safe inputs and 24 fail-safe outputs. The EK1960-2600
and EK1960-2608 variants feature an additional four relays, each with one make contact.
The EK1960 TwinSAFE compact controller is suitable for safety applications up to SIL 3 according to
IEC62061 and IEC61508 and up to Cat. 4, PL e according to ENISO13849-1:2015. (See following list for
restrictions):
• The single-channel relay output is suitable up to Cat. 2, PL d
• The two-channel relay output (use of two relay contacts in series) is suitable up to Cat. 3, PL d or Cat.
4, PL e, depending on the number of actuations. Cat. 4, PL e requires an actuation at least once per
month, Cat. 3, PL d at least once per year.
• The safe input for the safety mat operation mode is limited to Cat. 2, PL d.
Special proof tests are not necessary during the entire lifetime of the EK1960 on account of the high level of
diagnostic coverage.
The EK1960 can be used in three different application cases:
• As a stand-alone TwinSAFE compact controller without the use of an EtherCAT network with 20 inputs
and 24 outputs. An extension with terminals to the right of the EK1960 on the E-bus is not possible in
this operation mode.
• As a TwinSAFE compact controller integrated into an EtherCAT network. The EK1960 can be
extended with standard and safety terminals on the E-bus connection and via the EtherCAT network.
• As a TwinSAFE I/O module. The logic on the TwinSAFE compact controller is not used. The coupler
can be addressed by a TwinSAFE logic terminal as an I/O module with 20 inputs and 24 outputs.
The inputs of the EK1960 can be used as digital 24 V inputs. They can be fed to the safe input either with
static 24 VDC or with a clock from one of the TwinSAFE outputs of the EK1960 or via an external clock source
via, for example, a switch contact. Inputs 17 to 20 can additionally be switched to a safety mat operation
mode (Bumper Mode On) . Only safety mats operating according to the resistance-change principle are
supported. The safety mats can also be cascaded in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The
inputs can be parameterized in groups of two.
The outputs can be parameterized in groups of four. It is possible to set the mark-to-space-ratio and the
activation as a clock source for the safe inputs.

NOTE
Protected wiring
If the wiring of the outputs or the connected actuators leaves the control cabinet, the user must ensure that
the wiring is protected.
WARNING
Active loads
The use of active loads (with their own power supply) is not permissible unless the manufacturer of the load
ensures the non-reactivity of the power supply to the control signal.
DANGER
Clocked signals within a sheathed cable
Are clocked signals of different output modules used within a sheathed cable, a failure of a module, such as
cross-circuit or external power supply must lead to a switch off of all these modules. This switch off must be
performed by the user program.
From firmware version 03 and revision -0021 the parameter Module Fault Link active is available. If the parameter is set to TRUE for all modules involved, all these modules are set to the error state in the event of a
module error. This parameter is set to TRUE by default.

3.5Intended use
WARNING
Caution - Risk of injury!
The TwinSAFE compact controller may only be used for the purposes described below!
The TwinSAFE compact controller expands the application range of the Beckhoff EtherCAT system by
functions that enable it to be used in the field of machine safety as well. The TwinSAFE compact controller is
designed for machine safety functions and the directly associated industrial automation tasks. It is therefore
approved only for applications with a defined fail-safe state. This safe state is the wattless state.
The EK1960 TwinSAFE compact controller is suitable for operation as
• Stand-alone Safety Controller
• a safety controller within an EtherCAT network
• a safety I/O device within an EtherCAT network with, for example, an EL6910 as TwinSAFE Master
WARNING
System limits
The TÜV-Süd certificate applies to the EK1960, the function blocks available in it, the documentation and
the engineering tool. Approved engineering tools are TwinCAT 3.1, TwinSAFE Loader and CODESYSSafety for EtherCAT Safety Module. Any deviations from the procedures or tools, particularly externally
generated xml files for TwinSAFE import or externally generated automatic project creation procedures, are
not covered by the certificate.
WARNING
Power supply
The TwinSAFE compact controller must be supplied with 24 VDC by an SELV/PELV power supply unit with
an output voltage limit U
of 36 VDC. Failure to observe this can result in a loss of security.
max
WARNING
Commissioning test
Before the EK1960 can be used for the safety task, the user must carry out a commissioning test so that
sensor and actuator wiring errors can be ruled out.
CAUTION
Note the Machinery Directive
The TwinSAFE compact controller may only be used in machines within the meaning of the Machinery Directive.
CAUTION
Ensure traceability
The buyer has to ensure the traceability of the device via the serial number.

NOTE
Protective circuit
No protective circuit is integrated in the output circuit of the EK1960, so it is necessary to provide a freewheeling diode on the actuator for inductive loads. However, it must be borne in mind that the free-wheeling
diode may prolong the switch-off times of the actuator.
The protective circuit must limit the induced voltage at the output to an amount of less than 29V. Thus, R/C
circuits and varistors are typically unsuitable.

3.8Error response times
The error response times depend, among other things, on the logic program used and the settings of the
MultiplierDiagTestPulse and ModuloDiagTestPulse parameters.
An error reaction for the tests of the I/O signals is realized by a weighted counter, therefore the switch-off
does not occur immediately at the first error of the diagnostic tests.
The maximum error reaction time results from the duration of the longest lasting test, this is the RAM test
and this is several hours.

3.9Characteristic curve of the inputs
The characteristic curve of the inputs of the EK1960 is similar to type 3 according to EN 61131-2.
Fig.6: EK1960 input characteristic curve
3.10Test pulses for the outputs
The output signals of each module of the EK1960 can be determined via the parameter Diag TestPulse
Active. The test pulses generated have a length of 400 µs, which is multiplied by the factor
MultiplierDiagTestPulse. This factor should be set to at least 2 for outputs with no load or only a small load,
so that a test pulse length of 800 µs results. The frequency of the test pulses results from the processing of
the input and output modules and the cycle time of the internal logic. For example, if the logic has a cycle
time of 2 ms and a ModuloDiagTestpulse of 0, a typical time b results in accordance with the following
calculation.
The test pulse sequence is shown in the following table, where the time b typically elapses between a
channel test and a module switch test. The tests start over once they have been performed for all four
channels.
If the parameter Diag TestPulse for Inputs active is set in addition, all outputs of the module are switched on
and the test pulses shown here are similarly applied to the individual output channels. These signals can
then be used as clocked signals for the safe inputs. The module switch test is not performed in this operation
mode; instead, the four channels are tested directly in succession, leading to the time interval b between the
tests of the individual channels.

NOTE
Length of the test pulses
When setting the test pulses, make sure that the connected actuator is not switched due to the test pulse
length.
The output signal must be 0 V for at least 200 µs within a test pulse. This is independent of the setting of
the parameter MultiplierDiagTestPulse.
Minimum load
The test pulse length of the outputs is set by default to 2 x 400 µs. This setting is suitable for typical
actuators with and without a protective circuit. The test pulse length can typically be reduced to 400
µs with a resistive load and a current of at least 30 mA.
Please observe the violation counter in the diagnostic history. If messages are displayed for the corresponding output module, this means that the setting of the test pulse length is borderline and may
need to be increased.
For electronic contactors that tend towards a capacitive behavior, it may be necessary to set the parameter MultiplierDiagTestPulse to 3 or higher.
