Overview and Features of the G9SP-series Controller Section 1-1
I/O Connecting Cable
Only one CP-series I/O Connecting Cable can be used. Use this cable when
the length of the cable for the Expansion I/O Units is insufficient or when the
Units are arranged vertically.
Precautions for Correct Use
Operation may be unpredictable if any Units other than the Expansion I/O
Units and Option Units listed here are used. Confirm the model before con-
necting a Unit
1-1-3 Features
Safety Logic Operation
Programming can be performed using function blocks that have been certified
for safety standards. This enables achieving a wide variety of safety applica-
tions ranging from a simple total stop to complex applications that use multiple
operating modes.
Safety I/O
The Safety I/O terminals of the G9SP-series Controller include a variety of
self-diagnosis functions to detect faults and wiring mistakes in connected
Safety Devices.
Wide Range of I/O Wiring Error Detection Functions
• For Safety Inputs, external wiring errors, such as faulty connected
devices, wiring mistakes, disconnected wires, short-circuiting, and ground
faults, can be detected.
• Using Safety Outputs in combination with the safety logic EDM function
enables detecting errors such as contact weld faults, wiring mistakes, dis-
connected wires, short-circuiting, and ground faults, in output devices
such as Safety Relays and Safety Contactors.
Direct Connection to Safety Devices
A direct connection can be made to an OMRON UM Safety Mat, a D40A or
D40Z Non-contact Switch, or an E3ZS/E3FS Single Beam Safety Sensor.
Connecting without use of an intermediate special controller enables reducing
control panel size and decreasing system costs.
Expanded Support for Applications Using Optional Devices
Using optional devices enables building the most appropriate and flexible sys-
tems.
Connection to a Standard PLC Using an Option Board
General-purpose communications can be performed with a Standard PLC
using an Option Board. Option Boards are available for the widely used RS-
232C serial communications and Ethernet communications, thereby reducing
additional system costs.
