1-1 Overview and Features of the G9SP-series Controller
1-1-1 Overview
The G9SP-series Safety Controller is a programmable controller that is
designed for easy operation in small to mid-sized Safety Control systems.
Using the G9SP-series Safety Controller enables building Safety Control sys-
tems that satisfy the requirements for SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) in IEC
61508 (Safety Standard for Safety Instrumented Systems: Functional Safety
of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems) and
IEC/EN 62061 (Safety of Machinery -- Functional Safety of Safety-related
Electrical, Electronic and Programmable Electronic Control Systems), as well
as safety category 4 and PLe (Performance Level e) in EN ISO 13849-1.
The use of Expansion I/O Units and optional products enables a wide variety
of applications.
