I Safe
The Safety Controller Complies with
Global Safety Standards
In addition to International standards (IEC), the F3SX also conforms to
European (EN), and U.S./Canadian (UL) safety standards, enabling
trouble-free use in machinery for Europe, the U.S., and Canada.
Applicable Standards
• European Machinery Directive 98/37/EC, Low Voltage Directive 73/
23/EEC
• IEC 61508 1998 (EN 61508 2001) (SIL 1-3)
• EN 954-1 1996 (Category B 1-4)
• EN 50178 1997, UL 508, UL 1998, etc.

Technology-backed Safety Design
We pursued safety to the limit to deliver safety and reliability
backed by the highest level of safety design and FMEA. Two CPU
Units perform mutual checking and diagnostic monitoring of each
I/O section, and the safety of operations is further
verified by FMEA and process-controlled design
and production.
