A Safety Measure for Hazardous Operations
That Does Not Lower Productivity
• Two functions support two types of application:
• Auto switching: For applications where operators work
together with machines
• Manual switching: For applications with limited operations
• External indicator outputs enable indicating the switching status
of two safety input devices.
• Auxiliary outputs enable monitoring of safety inputs, safety
outputs, and errors.
• Detailed LED indications enable easy diagnosis.
• Logical AND connection allows complicated applications in
combination with other G9SX-series Units.
• Certification for compliance with IEC/EN 61508 (SIL3), IEC/EN
62061 (SIL3) and ISO13849-1 (PLc/Safety Category 4).
For the most recent information on models that have been certified for
safety standards, refer to your OMRON website.
