Omron, NX-SL Series

• 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.

• The safety CPU unit controls up to 128 safety I / O Units.

• Hardware and safety circuits can be configured using the sysmac studio

• Compliant with IEC61131-3

• Safety programs can be standardized and reused efficiently by using POUs for design and operation.

• Safety over EtherCAT (FsoE): The open protocol Safety over EtherCAT (abbreviated with FSoE "FailSafe over EtherCAT") defines a safety related communication layer for EtherCAT. Safety over EtherCAT meets the requirements of IEC 61508 SIL 3 and enables the transfer of safe and standard information on the same communication system without limitations with regard to transfer speed and cycle time.

* Certification was received for applications in which OMRON FSoE devices are connected to each other.

The NX-series safety control units allow you to build a safety control system that meets the following standards.

Requirements for SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) in IEC 61508, EN 62061, safety standard for safety instrumented systems (Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems)
Requirements for PLe (Performance Level e) and for safety category 4 in EN ISO13849-1

The NX-series safety control units are also registered for C-Tick and KC compliance.
