KOLLMORGEN EB-102-A-11
Product Introduction:
The EB-102-A-11 is a 2-channel safety input module from the Kollmorgen EB-Series safety product line. It monitors safety-rated input signals (e-stop buttons, safety gates, light curtains) and communicates safety status to the AKD/AKM servo drive via safe communication protocol (FSoE or Safety over EtherCAT). The “A” indicates active-high input configuration, and “11” specifies the firmware/configuration revision.

Functional Features:
- Dual-channel monitoring — two independent safety inputs per module
- Cross-monitoring — detects internal fault conditions
- Wire-break detection — alerts on cable disconnection
- Active-high logic — NO contact closure triggers safety stop
- FSoE compatible — integrates with EtherCAT safety networks (Pilz, Sick, Turck)
Applicable Industries:
- Robot safety cells
- Press machines with safety gates
- Packaging machines with light curtains
- CNC machines with door interlocks
- Any application requiring SIL2/PLd safety I/O
Model Series: EB-Series — Safety I/O Module Family
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on DIN rail (TS35) adjacent to AKD/AKM drive
- Connect to drive via FSoE cable (included or ordered separately)
- Safety inputs: use OSSD-compliant devices (e-stop buttons, safety relays)
- Do not daisy-chain safety signals — each input must be independent
- Verify SIL2/PLd rating matches system risk assessment
Usage Notes:
- Safety inputs must be wired with redundant contacts for SIL2 compliance
- Module must be powered at all times — loss of power = safety stop
- Test safety function weekly per ISO 13849-1 requirements
- Do not use for non-safety signals — this module is safety-rated only
- Replace module if fault LED illuminates — do not bypass
