The proTEC Flexline Controller is a compact safety and emergency-stop controller for flame and SFX systems and part of the proTEC safety architecture. Designed for use on, next to, or behind the stage, the unit can be mounted in the stage pit or directly on truss structures using F3x-pattern mounting points.
Emergency Halt and Emergency Stop buttons can be integrated or provided as mobile units, allowing flexible positioning with cable lengths up to 50 m.
Third-party equipment can be integrated into the safety architecture via Stagebox or Powerguard modules using secure load disconnection.
Within the proTEC safety architecture, communication between all devices is handled through the Ethernet-based proTEC Safety Protocol.
Two safety functions are available: Emergency Halt provides a short-term safe shutdown, while Emergency Stop performs a complete shutdown with mandatory restart.
The system supports DMX, ArtNet, and sACN and extends existing show-control networks with the proTEC safety architecture. An integrated node function allows seamless network integration.
A device overview displays all connected proTEC units including status, fixture ID, PTSC (proTEC Safety Channel), and diagnostic error codes. This information can be accessed locally or via the integrated web server.
The system can be expanded with additional proTEC Controllers, Flexline Controllers, Stageboxes, and Powerguard modules. This allows SIL3-certified load disconnection up to 63 A CEE, additional Emergency Halt and Emergency Stop points, installation in 19″ rack systems or truss-mounted variants, and the assignment of multiple device groups that can be switched independently via dedicated emergency-stop functions.
