NX Series safety controllers and accessories from Omron Automation are designed to satisfy stringent safety requirements, prevent and mitigate risks, and improve efficiency in applications with more than 10 safety devices, long or complex programming sequences, and demanding safety network requirements. They interact with other elements of industrial safety systems, such as sensors, emergency stops and light curtains. NX Series detects hazards and triggers automated responses, such as slowing or stopping machines. They also interact with non-safety devices, including PLCs to prioritize process safety and HMIs to deliver diagnostic data.
Two distinct models of NX Series are available with specialized safety functions—NX-SL and NX-SL5.
NX-SL models are available with 32 or 128 safety I/O connections, and up to 256 or 1,024 I/O points, which is optimal for medium or large safety networks, and 0.5 or 2MB program memory. They also have a modular design that makes them easy to adapt to a variety of machine types and sizes and—for retrofit projects—support direct connections to any PLC with an EtherNet/IP coupler. They can also be combined with an EtherCAT coupler to facilitate seamless functional safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) for systems that require remote I/O.
Meanwhile, NX-SL5 models are available with 127 or 254 safety I/O connections, up to 1,024 or 2,032 I/O points, and 2 or 4 MB program memory. These models offer the same benefits as NX-SL, but can also simultaneously support multiple safety zones and network protocols, including Safety over Ethernet/IP, FSoE, and Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) Safety over Ethernet.
NX Series controllers also support seamless integration into Omron’s unified automation platform, Sysmac Studio, which enables easy configuration, programming, simulation and monitoring processes via a simple, user-friendly interface and features including user-defined function blocks, simple automatic test functionality, and the ability to data log and display 100 inputs.
