M
urrelektronik, 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. The MVK Fusion series simplifies
installation by combining standard and safety communication into one device. This
significantly reduces the number of modules needed, streamlines system architecture, and saves valuable space – making it an ideal solution for machine builders and system integrators. “With the growing global demand for efficient and flexible safety solutions, expanding MVK fieldbus range to include CIP Safety support was a natural next step,” said Anderson Silva, application engineer at Murrelektronik UK. “Now, engineers working with Ethernet/IP can benefit from the same simplicity, space savings and performance our customers worldwide have come to rely on.”

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 supports this functionality, helping 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 – ideal for space-constrained installations. Designed for use in harsh environments, the MVK Fusion
