The Status Display Touchscreen for G9SP Programmable Safety Controllers is a simple plug-and-play touchscreen which displays safety I/O error codes and enables users to easily view the status of safety inputs and outputs without the cost of installing and wiring indicator lights. Users are able to reset up to four zones directly from the touchscreen, which is easily integrated into existing G9SP applications, or is available with the G9SP as a complete programmable safety control and monitoring solution (kit). The status display touchscreen’s front panel is 96.0 by 96.0 by 7.0 mm, with an active display area of 58.5 by 58.5 mm. The display is LCD monotone, with 16 shades of gray. It is rated to provide in excess of 1,000,000 touchscreen operations, and satisfies relevant IEC and EN standards. An EIP module that enables programmable devices that follow ODVA guidelines for EtherNet/IP™ to communicate with G9SP controllers is also available. The result is a complete solution that makes it possible for users to quickly and easily monitor the operation of a safety controller, and to send non-safety data to that controller. This valuable information can be reviewed or combined with manufacturing process data, helping users to more efficiently achieve their productivity goals. The software-based stand-alone controllers are quickly programmed to satisfy the complex safety control needs of small and mid-sized machines, and are easily reconfigured to solve evolving machine set-up needs. Three base models with a range of I/O options are available to satisfy varied application requirements, and four types of expansion I/O units are available for hard-wired diagnosis or standard signals. The controllers are an ideal stand-alone safety control solution in packaging, food and beverage, automotive component, injection molding, and printing applications where customer-driven machine set-up changes demand equally flexible safety solutions. They deliver clear diagnostics and monitoring via Ethernet or Serial connection, and support direct connection with safety light curtains, safety laser scanner, non-contact switches and safety mats. They are ISO 13849-1(PLe) and IEC61508 (SIL3) certified.
