The Applications for the SICK Flexi Soft FX0-GPNT00000 Gateway
1. Robot Cell Safety Integration in Automotive Assembly
In automotive production lines, robotic welding or handling cells require tightly coordinated safety control and upstream process monitoring. The FX0-GPNT00000 gateway can link a Flexi Soft safety controller to the PROFINET network of the cell’s PLC and supervisory systems. It transmits non-safety status, diagnostic, and control data, enabling the safety logic to co-operate with the machine control. For instance, if a robot door is opened, the safety system can immediately flag the event to the PLC thanks to the gateway’s managed Ethernet ports, enabling faster reaction and streamlined fault diagnosis.
2. Packaging Machine with Modular Conveyor Zones
In a packaging line composed of modular conveyor zones, each zone may have local safety sensors (e.g. light curtains, emergency stops). Embedding the FX0-GPNT00000 allows each module’s safety controller to publish status and diagnostic information via PROFINET to a central controller. This modular architecture lets machine builders add or remove conveyor modules without reworking the entire network. The integrated switch and auto-crossover support make network topology changes simpler while maintaining system availability.
3. AGV / AMR Fleet Safety Network Integration
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) or Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) often rely on safety sensors like laser scanners, bumpers, and encoders. The FX0-GPNT00000 is used in conjunction with SICK’s Safe EFI-pro solution to integrate the mobile safety components into the facility’s PROFINET-based infrastructure. The gateway transmits diagnostic and status data from mobile units to central control, helping route coordination, health monitoring, and preventive maintenance, while isolating safety logic from non-safety communication paths.
4. Press / Laser Cutting Station Network Supervision
In a facility with multiple press or laser-cutting machines, each station must maintain functional safety while still offering status feedback and diagnostics across the factory network. By adding FX0-GPNT00000 to each station’s safety module, non-safety information (e.g. status flags, error codes) is published over PROFINET to the factory’s SCADA or MES. This improves transparency and root-cause analysis, while keeping safety-critical signals inside the local safety controller, isolated from the broader network.
