Omron’s complete safety control and ­visual interface package

September 2015 IS & Ex

Omron Corporation has launched a new safety and visualisation package containing all the components to provide a programmable and flexible machine safety control solution, with the added benefit of a visual interface for detailed diagnostics and user information.

According to Victor Marques, general manager at Omron, the package was developed to give customers added value without compromising on quality. It contains a standalone G9SP safety controller which provides all local safety I/O while controlling the safety application with diagnosis information provided via serial or Ethernet interface. It also has a memory cassette for easy duplication of configuration and unique programming software to support easy design, verification, standardisation and reuse of the program.

The next element is the S8VK-G power supply with a wide operating temperature range (-40 to 70°C) to guarantee operation stability. It has a double set of DC output terminals (three for the negative) to provide easy wiring, a 90% efficiency to reduce energy consumption, a 120% power boost functionality and improved DIN-rail mounting clip to provide better vibration resistance and allow for easy installation.

The third component is a 7-inch wide colour TFT LCD touch screen which offers maximum screen size in the most compact format. The screen has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels that allows users to create easy-to-use HMI applications in portrait or landscape orientation. There are two different versions equipped with an Ethernet and USB host port to make it easy to update the project or exchange data over a network.

Other features include a long-life LED backlight, more than 65K colour display, a 128 MB internal memory, IP65 protection, USB memory stick support and vector and bitmap graphics.

“As the display is one of the most important components for an HMI, the complete package is equipped with LED backlit TFT LCDs with a good viewing angle and brightness. Together with a large memory the HMI application can contain many images to create good looking applications,” concludes Marques.
