The VW3E702200000: This module is certified to a full stack of safety standards: IEC 61800-3 (EMC for drives), IEC 61800-5-1 (electrical safety for drives), IEC 61800-5-2 (functional safety for drives — the key one for safe torque off / safe stop), ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2 (PL rating for control systems), IEC 62061 and IEC 61508 (SIL 3 capable), plus UL 508C and CSA C22.2 No 14 for North American panel acceptance. That means the module can be integrated into a safety function up to SIL 3 / PL e without needing an external safety relay, as long as the drive and wiring meet the same category. For a packaging line or a robot cell, this simplifies the safety circuit — one SERCOS III cable carries both motion and safety data.
The VW3E702200000 is active in production with a mature lifecycle stage. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy date exists.
