You will find the configuration software on the Internet: www
1)
The number of expansion modules is limited by the capacity of the FLEXBUS+ backplane bus. A Drive Monitor (FX3-MOCx) requires twice
the bus capacity of the other expansion modules. Therefore, each FX3-MOCx reduces the maximum possible number of expansion mod‐
ules that can be used by two.
2)
Each FX3-ANA0 expansion module provides two analog inputs, which are combined to form one safe channel. An FX3-ANA0 can there‐
fore safely detect an analog process variable using two sensors.

RODUCT DESCRIPTION
NOTE
e recent modules are backward compatible so that each module can be
Mor
•
replaced by one with a higher firmware version.
Flexi Soft Designer Version ≥ V1.4.0 can also be used to configure devices with a
•
later version of the firmware, even if Flexi Soft Designer does not yet recognize the
new firmware. In such cases, the user will only be able to access the function
packages (Step 1.xx, Step 2.xx, Step 3.xx, or Step 4.xx) that are supported by the
available version of Flexi Soft Designer.
A corresponding new version of the configuration software is needed in order to
•
use the full functional scope of modules with a later firmware version.
The configuration software is not upwards-compatible. In other words, a project
•
created with a more recent version of the configuration software cannot be
opened with an older version.
The function package (Step 1.xx, Step 2.xx, Step 3.xx, or Step 4.xx) must be
•
selected in the hardware configuration menu of the configuration software. The
availability of a desired function package in the configuration software is shown in
the table.
To use the Step N.xx function package, the relevant module must have a minimum
•
firmware version of VN.00.0. If you try to transfer a configuration in a module with
a lower firmware version, an error message is displayed.
The hardware version of the Flexi Soft modules can be seen in the hardware con‐
•
figuration of the configuration software in online status or in the report if the sys‐
tem was previously online.
You will find the firmware version of the Flexi Soft modules on the type label of the
•
Flexi Soft modules in the firmware version field.
The date of manufacture of a device can be found in the S/N field on the type
•
label in the format yywwnnnn (yy = year, ww = calendar week, nnnn = sequential
serial number in the calendar week).
The version of the configuration software can be found by selecting Info in the
•
Extras menu.
The latest version of the configuration software can be found on the Internet at
•
www.sick.com.
3.3 Construction and function
System construction
lexi Soft system consists of the following modules:
A F
1 Flexi Soft system plug
•
1 Flexi Soft main module
•
Up to 2 Flexi Soft gateways
•
Up to 12 Flexi Soft expansion modules
•
In addition, up to 8 UE410-2RO relay modules and/or up to 4 UE410-4RO relay
•
modules (i.e., a maximum of 16 safe relay outputs)
NOTE
Onl
y those modules listed here can be connected to a Flexi Soft system; other modules
are not permitted.
3)
he number of expansion modules is limited by the capacity of the FLEXBUS+ backplane bus. A Drive Monitor (FX3-MOCx) requires twice
T
the bus capacity of the other expansion modules. Therefore, each FX3-MOCx reduces the maximum possible number of expansion mod‐
ules that can be used by two.

3.4.5 FX3-MPL0 and FX3-MPL1 system plugs
There is a system plug at each main module. The system configuration for the entire
F
lexi Soft system is stored only in the system plug. This is beneficial when replacing
modules, because it means that a full reconfiguration of the Flexi Soft system is not
required.
System plug variants
There are two system plug variants, each of which can only be used in conjunction with
certain main modules.

This reduces the response time of the overall system. The response times of the
de
vices at the inputs and outputs are extended by 8 ms in order to shut down the
outputs. Run times on the FLEXBUS+ internal bus and the logic execution time are
not relevant in this case (see "Maximum response time of the Flexi Soft system",
page 126).

The FX3-XTIO module cannot be operated alone; an FX3-CPUx main module is always
necessary.
Multiple FX3-XTIO modules can be used at the same time (see "Construction and func‐
tion", page 16).
The power supply to the internal logic and the test outputs is provided via the system
plug and the FLEXBUS+ internal bus.
The power supply to outputs Q1 to Q4 on the FX3-XTIO must be provided directly via
A1/A2 at the corresponding module.

3.4.6.2 Deactivation of test signals at outputs Q1 to Q4 on the FX3-XTIO
With the FX3-XTIO Step ≥ 2.xx (firmware versions V2.00.0), it is possible to deactivate
t
he test pulses at one or more outputs of FX3-XTIO modules.
Deactivating the test pulses at one or more of the outputs (Q1 to Q4) of an FX3-XTIO
module reduces the safety parameters of all the outputs (Q1 to Q4) of the module con‐
cerned. If the test pulses are deactivated, a short-circuit cannot be recognized after
24 V if the output is high. Therefore, in the case of a recognized internal hardware error,
the switch-off capability of the other outputs can be impaired by the reverse current of
24 V via the output whose test pulse has been deactivated. This must be taken into
account to ensure that the application is in line with an appropriate risk analysis and
risk avoidance strategy.

The target safety-related level may not be achieved in the event of non-compliance.
Pay attention to the extended error recognition time.

With the FX3-XTIO Step ≥ 3.xx (firmware version V3.00.0), it is possible to configure an
xtended fault detection time for cross-circuits that affect outputs Q1 to Q4 of FX3-XTIO
e
modules.
This may be necessary to switch loads where the voltage at the load does not drop to
the Low level as quickly as expected, with the result that if the standard error detection
time is set, a cross-circuit error occurs immediately after switching off (change from
High to Low). Examples of such instances include:
Loads with a capacitance that is higher than the standard level permitted for the
•
output, such as the supply voltage of PLC output cards that require safety-related
switching.
For this application, the test signal for the input must also be deactivated (see
eactivation of test signals at outputs Q1 to Q4 on the FX3-XTIO", page 25).

reached. If this condition is not met within the maximum permissible time, it results in a
cross-circuit fault at the corresponding output regardless of whether test pulses are
activated or deactivated for the output concerned.

3.4.6.4 Fault detection time and fault response time when using single-channel outputs on the FX3-XTIO
The fault detection time plus the fault response time of the FX3-XTIO depends on the
conf
iguration of the respective output.
In the case of an internal hardware fault, outputs (Q1 to Q4), which would normally be
on low, may switch off with a delay and/or may briefly switch to high until the fault has
been recognized and the fault reaction has been carried out.

RODUCT DESCRIPTION
The FX3-XTDI module cannot be operated alone; an FX3-CPUx main module is always
nece
ssary.
Multiple FX3-XTDI modules can be used at the same time (see "Construction and func‐
tion", page 16).
The power supply to the internal logic and the test outputs is provided via the system
plug and the FLEXBUS+ internal bus.

T
he FX3-XTDS module is an input/output expansion module with 8 safe inputs and
4 non-safe outputs. It has 2 test pulse generators, one for test output XY1 and one for
test output XY2.
The FX3-XTDS module supports the following functions:
Monitoring of the connected safety devices (see "Connection of devices",
•
page 74)
Forwarding of information at inputs I1 to I8 to the main module
•
Receipt of control signals from the main module and corresponding switching of
•
outputs
Outputs XY1 and XY2 can be used as either test outputs or non-safe outputs.
•
WARNING
proper use of the non-safe outputs
Im
The dangerous state may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely manner in the
event of non-compliance.
Do not use the FX3-XTDS outputs for safety functions.
b
The FX3-XTDS module cannot be operated alone; an FX3-CPUx main module is always
nece
ssary.
Multiple FX3-XTDS modules can be used at the same time (see "Construction and func‐
tion", page 16).
The power supply to the internal logic and the test outputs is provided via the system
plug and the FLEXBUS+ internal bus.
The power supply to outputs Y3 to Y6 on the FX3-XTDS must be provided directly via
A1/A2 at the corresponding module.
