The GC Series Safety Controller is designed to streamline safety management, integrating all necessary safety controls into a single, easy-to-use system. This innovative controller is compatible with any safety device, offering unmatched flexibility
Its GC-Link technology significantly reduces wiring efforts, especially when connected to KEYENCE safety devices. With an intuitive built-in display and specialized software, setting up a safety control system has never been more effortless.
Key Features of the GC Series
Seamless Integration with Any Safety Device
Whether you're working with primary safety equipment or auxiliary safety components like muting sensors, reset buttons, or emergency stops, the GC Series offers universal connectivity, making it a versatile solution for any setup.
GC-Link: The Smart Wiring Advantage
Traditional safety wiring can be time-consuming and prone to errors. The GC-Link feature simplifies the process by reducing wiring to a single quick-connect cable when used with KEYENCE safety devices, making installation fast and mistake-proof.
User-Friendly Programming with Intuitive Software
The GC Configurator software is designed to simplify the programming process, featuring:
β Automatic terminal assignment
β Drag-and-drop configuration
β Easy & Simulation modes
This allows users to program safety systems within minutes, whether for simple or complex applications.

The GC-1000 comes equipped with an Ethernet port, enabling communication with general-purpose PLCs. This allows:
- Real-time safety status monitoring
- Error detection directly from the PLC interface
- Transmission of control data from the PLC to the GC Series
Optimized Response Time for Maximum Safety
The response time of the GC Series is a crucial factor in safety calculations. This metric determines the time required to execute a safety action based on a signal from safety input devices (e.g., safety light curtains, sensors, or emergency stops).
β When calculating the total machine safety response time, factors such as sensor reaction time and machine stopping time must be considered. The GC Series ensures fast, accurate response times, enhancing workplace safety.
