Purchase now: Schneider Electric XPSMCMCP0802 Safety Controller
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Schneider Electric XPSMCMCP0802, the central processing unit (CPU) for the **Preventa XPSMCM** Modular Safety Controller system. Unlike standard safety relays which have fixed logic, this device is a configurable **Safety PLC** designed to handle complex safety applications with multiple zones. It is the «brain» of the system, capable of monitoring light curtains, E-stops, and magnetic switches simultaneously while managing logic via the free **SoSafe Basic** software.
Technical Specifications and I/O Capacity
The XPSMCMCP0802 is a compact module (22.5mm wide) that acts as the master. It features **8 Safety Digital Inputs** and **2 Safety OSSD Outputs** (Pairs). It also includes 2 Test Outputs for monitoring short-circuits on line inputs. The unit communicates via a backplane expansion bus, allowing you to clip on additional I/O modules, relay modules, or fieldbus couplers (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc.) to scale the system as your machine grows.

Expert Installation Advice: The Memory Card
This controller supports a removable memory card (XPSMCMME). Expert Tip: We highly recommend purchasing the memory card. Store your validated configuration on it. If the CPU ever fails (e.g., due to a voltage spike), you can simply replace the XPSMCMCP0802 hardware, insert the old memory card, and the machine is back up and running in minutes without needing a laptop or software engineer to re-download the program.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is the software license free?
A: Yes, Schneider Electric provides **SoSafe Basic** as free downloadable software for configuring the XPSMCM series.
Q: Can I connect it to an HMI?
A: Yes, specifically if you add a Comms Module (like XPSMCMCO0000S1), you can send status data to an HMI or PLC, though the CPU itself has a USB port for programming only.
