The KEYENCE GC-1000 Safety Controller is a compact, modular central unit for high-performance machine safety. Designed for fast integration into new and retrofit projects, it combines intuitive operation with robust diagnostics via a bright 1.77-inch color LCD. With 16 I/O points, six safety outputs, and four AUX outputs, it provides ample capacity for emergency stops, interlocks, and light curtains across complex installations.
Technically optimized for industrial environments, the GC-1000 features PNP safety transistor outputs (DC-13, type 0.5) and Type 3 safety inputs supporting contact or PNP devices. A 24 VDC Class 2 supply with protective circuits (overcurrent and reverse-polarity) ensures dependable operation, while two GC-Link ports enable scalable architectures with up to 10 expansion units and four external I/O modules. Ethernet 100BASE-TX and USB 2.0 accelerate commissioning and service, and native support for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, MC protocol, and UDP simplifies standardized PLC and SCADA connectivity. Compliance with IEC 61508 SIL3, IEC 62061 SIL CL3, and ISO 13849-1 Cat. 4 PL e, together with IEC 61131-2/-6 EMC/EMI standards, underpins functional safety in demanding applications.
Ideal for OEMs and system integrators seeking high availability and clear diagnostics, the GC-1000 reduces setup time and streamlines lifecycle maintenance; to further protect your investment and ensure long-term reliability, it comes with a 1-year warranty as standard.
