Murrelektronik, a leading provider of decentralised automation solutions, is expanding its popular MVK fusion fieldbus range with the launch of the MVK Fusion CIP Safety—a new hybrid I/O device designed specifically for Ethernet/IP applications. This addition brings the proven 3-in-1 functionality of discrete I/O, safety I/O, and IO-Link to automation systems that utilise the Common Industrial Protocol Safety (CIP Safety) standard.
Built for real-time safety
CIP Safety is a certified extension of the widely used CIP protocol (IEC 61508) that enables the safe transmission of data in real time—without the need for separate safety networks. The new MVK Fusion CIP Safety device helps engineers easily integrate safety into both new and existing Ethernet/IP systems.
Compact, rugged and easy to configure
The device features robust M12 L-coded power connectors that offer a high current capacity in a compact form factor. Designed for use in harsh environments, the MVK Fusion CIP Safety is IP67-rated and features a fully encapsulated metal housing, resistant to shock, vibration, and temperatures from -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C).
Flexible output options
The safety output on Port X3 provides unmatched flexibility. It can be configured as two sourcing outputs, one bipolar output, or a combination of both. Each port offers channel-specific customisation to suit a variety of application needs.
Advanced diagnostics for reduced downtime
MVK Fusion CIP Safety provides comprehensive diagnostics by continuously monitoring each channel for conditions such as overload, short circuits, and cable breaks, minimising unplanned downtime.
A seamless fit for ethernet/IP ecosystems
The MVK Fusion CIP Safety joins Murrelektronik’s expanding Ethernet/IP product family, which includes the MVK Pro IO-Link Master and high-performance managed switches—providing customers with a complete, future-ready solution for industrial automation.
