PROFIsafe I/O modules

Phoenix Contact has extended the Inline automation kit with Profisafe modules. The Inline Modular system allows for a flexible and application-specific configuration of digital and analog I/O channels, including the most common standard functions, like counters and circuit breakers, for example:


Depending on the bus coupler used, Profisafe modules of the Inline installation system can be operated in Profibus DP and Profinet applications, so that these networks can also profit from the advantages of safe Inline modules. This way, safety functions can be realized within Profisafe systems with the following requirements:
  • Up to Category 4 in accordance with
    EN 954-1
  • Up to SIL 3 in accordance with
    EN 61508 and
    EN IEC 62061
  • Up to PL e in accordance with
    EN ISO 13849-1.
Profisafe modules can be integrated anywhere in the Inline station, whereby mixed operation of standard and safety terminals is possible.



Sensors and actuators are easily integrated in the respective bus system via the inputs and outputs of the Profisafe modules. The settings for the diagnostics as well as for one or two-channel I/O wiring can be flexibly configured.

An Inline station can be made up of safe and non-safe modules here, whereby the user has a variety of function terminals to choose from. The station is configured with high granularity with digital and analog inputs or outputs.
