Wieland Samos PRO COMPACT series safety controller

Wieland has extended its Samos and Samos Pro system with the release of the Samos PRO COMPACT series for machine building and system engineering. With a width of only 45 mm, the controller is suitable for universal use, including harsh environments.

The compact system offers up to 20 safe inputs and eight safe outputs, with the option of extending up to 168 safe inputs and outputs, making it suitable for medium to large applications. It has an exchangeable memory of 512 MB.

The controller features integrated USB, ethernet and Industrial Ethernet communication so that solutions can be implemented for remote maintenance. Additionally, the Profinet-IO protocol is directly integrated into the Samos PRO COMPACT system. As no additional module is required for Modbus/TCP communication or Profinet-IO, the user can save on costs and space in the switch cabinet.

The safety controller is also available with the free Samos PLAN 5+ software with integrated simulation and logic analysis, which offers users simpler and safer programming.
