Omron: Sysmac Safety Controler

The Sysmac Safety concept fulfills perfectly the market needs for integrating machine automation and machine safety to a scalable overall system. The Sysmac Safety System consists of safety controller and safety I/O units. Controller and up to 128 safety I/O modules can be freely distributed in any I/O rack throughout the network.

The communication is based on the Ether- CAT protocol FSoE. All the Safety components do not require special couplers or network topology. Although safety is integrated, changes in standard I/O configuration do not affect the safety configuration. That means, safety validation has not to be done again, which is additionally improving the scalability.
