Features of the NE1A-series Controllers

Safety Logic Operations
Local Safety I/O
DeviceNet Safety Communications
DeviceNet Standard Communications
EtherNet/IP Standard Communications (Only Controllers that Support EtherNet/IP)
DeviceNet Communications Disable (Standalone) Setting
Configuration with a Graphical Tool
In addition to basic logic functions, such as AND and OR, function blocks such
as Emergency Stop or Safety Gate Monitoring that enable various safety
applications are supported.
• In the NE1A-SCPU01(-V1)(-EIP), a total of 24 local safety I/O points are
supported: 16 inputs and 8 outputs.
• In the NE1A-SCPU02(-EIP), a total of 48 local safety I/O points are sup-
ported: 40 inputs and 8 outputs.
• Faults in external wiring can be detected.
• Dual Channel Mode can be set for pairs of related local input terminals.
When Dual Channel Mode is set, an NE1A-series Controller can evaluate
the input data patterns and the time discrepancy between input signals.
• Dual Channel Mode can be set for pairs of related local output terminals.
When Dual Channel Mode is set, an NE1A-series Controller can evaluate
the output data patterns.
• As a Safety Master, Pre-Ver. 1.0 Controllers can perform safety I/O com-
munications with up to 16 connections using up to 16 bytes per connec-
tion.
• As a Safety Master, an NE1A-series Controller with unit version 1.0 or
later (including Controllers that support EtherNet/IP) can perform safety
I/O communications with up to 32 connections using up to 16 bytes per
connection.
• As a Safety Slave, the NE1A-series Controllers can perform safety I/O
communications with a maximum of four connections using up to 16 bytes
per connection.
As a Standard Slave, the NE1A-series Controllers can perform standard I/O
communications with one Standard Master for up to two connections using up
to 16 bytes per connection.
As an EtherNet/IP target, an NE1A-series Controller can perform standard I/O
communications with up to two connections with a single EtherNet/IP origina-
tor, using up to 128 bytes for input and 16 bytes for output per connection.
An NE1A-series Controller can be used as a Standalone Controller by dis-
abling its DeviceNet communications.
• A graphical tool is provided for both network configuration and user pro-
gramming. It enables easy configuration and programming.
• A Logic Editor can be activated from the Network Configurator.
• Configuration data can be downloaded and uploaded, and devices can be
monitored online via DeviceNet, USB, EtherNet/IP, or the peripheral inter-
face of an OMRON PLC.
