The NX series safety control units offer simple and flexible design for high-speed, high-precision motion control and safety control in an integrated engineering environment when used in conjunction with the NJ series machine automation controller and the automation software Sysmac Studio. This functionality contributes to productivity improvements and assurance of safety conforming to international standards and rules.
Integrated safety into machine automation possible by connecting with the NX-series EtherCAT Coupler The Safety CPU Unit controls up to 128 Safety I/O Units 4 or 8 points per Safety Input Unit, the 4-point Safety Input Unit can be directly connected with OMRON Non-contact Switches and Single beam Sensors 2 or 4 points per Safety Output Unit, the 2-point Safety Output Unit is characterized by large output breaking current of 2.0 A The Safety Units can be freely allocated in any combination with standard NX I/O Compliant with IEC61131-3 Safety programs can be standardized and reused efficiently by using POUs for design and operation EN ISO13849-1 (PLe/Safety Category4), IEC 61508 (SIL3) certified One connection using Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) protocol enables flexible configuration by mixing the Safety Units with standard NX I/O Hardware and safety circuits can be configured using the Sysmac Studio (Ver. 1.07)
