NX-series Safety Controller

EtherCAT System

Integrated safety into machine automation

2 | NX Series Safety Controller

The safety solution for any application

The NX Safety Controller enables a safety solution to be integrated into the Sysmac automation
Safety
platform within our one connection and one software concept.
ISO 13849-1, Cat.4/PLe
One connection with NJ/NX Machine Automation Controller and other devices is realized
IEC 61508 SIL3
through the use of Safety over EtherCAT -FSoE- protocol. The NX Safety I/O Units can be freely EN 62061 SIL3
distributed in an I/O rack throughout the network, mixing them in any combination with
standard NX I/O Units. The Automation Software Sysmac Studio allows for configuration,
PLC
programming, simulation and monitoring functionality.

Advanced connectivity connections speed up installation.

The NX Safety Controller eliminates

the need for dedicated controllers
for safety input devices and allows
for direct connection of safety input
devices.

ACR (Automatic Configuration

Restart)
When replacing a safety I/O Unit,
FROM TO just remove the old unit and insert a
new unit. The setting data is
automatically downloaded without
using the programming software.

Flexibility and reusability of programming code

Standard programming with Sysmac Studio
Sysmac Studio is compliant to the IEC 61131-3 standard
and utilizes PLCopen® function blocks.
The safety controller provides a large program capacity of 2048
KB (equivalent to more than 2,000 function blocks),visual
setting of IO and automatic generating wiring diagram,variable
style programming, reusable user-defined function blocks,
offline simulation and simple automatic test.
