Omron Automation and Safety (Hoffman Estates, IL) expanded its family of Safety Controllers with a stand-alone version of the NX-series Safety Controllers that uses Safety over EtherNet/IP for a powerful, modular and easily commissioned safety controller that can be adapted to a wide range of safety applications.
The expandable design provides a highly scalable solution, making it ideal for compact systems with just a few I/Os, as well as for larger applications that require up to 256 I/O points.
The NX-series Safety Control Unit’s inputs support direct connectivity to any kind of safety device: safety light curtains, scanners, interlocking devices, non-contact sensors, electromechanical switches, safety mats, safety bumpers, enabling switches, and more. The unit’s outputs support any type of safety actuator from safety relays and safety contactors to inverters or other drives with built-in safety torque off (STO) functionality.
