SICK FX3-GEPR00000 Flexi Soft Safety Controller Gateway

FX3-GEPR00000 Flexi Soft Safety Controller Gateway by SICK is a gateway module that links a Flexi Soft safety controller to Ethernet-based networks via EFI-pro. It enables EFI-pro master/slave operation and supports EtherNet/IP CIP Safety, Modbus TCP (master and slave), and PROFINET IO slave (Conformance Class A), enabling safe data exchange between safety devices and PLCs, HMIs, and industrial controllers. The gateway provides two RJ45 Ethernet ports for network connectivity and is configured through SICK Safety Designer software, allowing mapping of safety data and control signals across networks. The device is designated as part of the FX3 family with part number 1069070 (FX3-GEPR00000), and functions as both an originator (master) and a target in EFI-pro safety communications, offering flexible integration in AGV/AMR fleets and complex machinery safety systems. Typical applications include bridging EFI-pro safety networks to EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP for centralized monitoring, interlocks, and safe stop sequencing in automated machinery. Safety Designer enables configuration of data exchange, safety parameters, and network topology to fit varied machine safety architectures.
