Kollmorgen Safety Modules, known as KSM, are a smart and expandable platform for machine builders to quickly and effectively integrate Safe Motion as part of Functional Safety-certified solutions. KSM’s combine the functionality of a Safety PLC with Safe Motion functions into one compact system that are compatable with Kollmorgen AKD® drives and automation controllers. The safety system of a KSM can simultaneously monitor up to 12 axes in a single system. Each module can safely monitor standard feedback devices such as resolvers, as well as both single and multi-turn versions of EnDat™, BiSS and HIPERFACE® devices.
