Describes a device, function, data, or other element for which special safety measures
have been implemented for use in Safety Controls.
Describes a device, function, data, or other element that is used in Standard Controls.
Used to differentiate from devices, functions, data, or other elements for which special
safety measures have been implemented for use in Safety Controls.
A highly reliable controller that is used in Safety Controls.
A programmable controller (PLC) that is used for general controls.
Used to differentiate from a PLC used for Safety Controls.
The name of the CP1W-20EDT(-1) and CP1W-32ET(-1).
Some of the OMRON CP1-series Expansion I/O Units can be used in a G9SP-series
Controller. Expansion I/O Units are connected to a G9SP-series Controller to increase
the number of Standard I/O points.
The name of the CP1W-CIF01 and CP1W-CIF41.
Some of the OMRON CP1-series Option Boards can be used in a G9SP-series Control-
ler. An Option Board can be mounted in a G9SP-series Controller to communicate with a
Standard PLC.
The name of the CP1W-ME05M.
This OMRON CP1@-series Memory Cassette can be used in a G9SP-series Controller. It
is used to back up and restore configuration data in G9SP-series Controllers.
The name of the WS02-G9SP@@.
Support Software that is used to set up, program, and debug G9SP-series Controllers.
Setup data that is used to operate a G9SP-series Controller. The configuration data is
created with the G9SP Configurator and then downloaded from the computer to memory
in the G9SP-series Controller. The configuration data contains the unit configuration set-
tings, I/O terminal settings, system settings, and Safety Program.
An operation used to write the configuration data stored in internal memory in the G9SP-
series Controller to a Memory Cassette.
An operation used to write the configuration data stored in a Memory Cassette to internal
memory in the G9SP-series Controller.
An input device for which special safety measures have been implemented for use in
Safety Controls. Safety Input Device is therefore a generic term for input devices such as
emergency stop switches and safety door switches.
An output device for which special safety measures have been implemented for use in
Safety Controls. Safety Output Device is therefore a generic term for output devices such
as safety relays.
A series of programmable controllers manufactured by OMRON.
A series of Safety Network Controllers manufactured by OMRON. NE1A-series Control-
lers are high-end controllers in comparison to the G9SP-series Controllers.
Two channels that are used for redundancy with Safety Inputs or Safety Outputs. If the
two channels must have the same value, they are called equivalent dual channels. If they
must have the opposite values, they are called complementary dual channels.
The state in which the status of two dual channels do not agree, resulting in a discrep-
ancy error.
