DeviceNet Safety System
NE1A/DST1
Omron now offers a DeviceNet
compatible Safety System, that
can be used 3-ways: as a Standalone controller, as a Safety network expandable with remote I/O
blocks, or combined with
DeviceNet to form a combined
Network.
• Conforms to Global Safety Standards
• Individual I/O LED status and error indicators
• USB Programming Port
• IEC 61508 SIL 3
• EN954-1 Category 4
• UL1604 Class 1, Div. 2 Group A,B,C,D
Product Information
Introducing a Safety Network System that dramatically alters previous safety design.
Programmable safety circuits are incorporated to facilitate efficient designing and modifications. Moreover, Safety I/O Terminals
can be added to increase safety I/O capacity for distributed allocation through the network. DeviceNet wiring on the existing network can be used as is, facilitating efficient design by expanding on the existing system.
The programmability of safety circuits, expandability of I/O using the network, and compatibility with the DeviceNet open network
effects major changes to the framework of previous safety design systems.

Complies with the Highest Safety Standards in the world
The DeviceNet Safety System conforms to IEC 61508 SIL3 for functional safety, and EN 954-1 Category 4 for machine safety,
complying with the world's highest level of safety standards.
IEC 61508 SIL 3
Safety circuits must be able to function to provide safety at anytime.
Conversely, the degree of lack of safety is used as the indicator. In
IEC 61508, safety is defined as the Probability of Failure per Hour, or
PFH. Based on this, the SIL (Safety Level) is classified into four levels. SIL 3 indicates a probability of dangerous failure of once in 1,000
years, which is the highest level in machine safety.
EN 954-1 Safety Category 4
EN standards evaluate the level of machine risk and require the incorporation of risk minimization measures. In EN 954-1, five safety categories have been established, with Safety Category 4 indicating
designs that require the highest safety design level. This category is
demanded for machines with the highest level of danger, wherein "serious injury (severed limbs, death, etc.) will occur frequently, with little
chance of escaping danger." This category demands that a single
fault (failure) in any part of the machine, or a series of faults, will not
lead to loss of the machine's safety functions.

Programmable Safety Circuits
Until now, safety design involved combining safety relays to configure safety control circuits. This process involved tedious wiring, and moreover,
any changes required direct modification of the wiring. The DeviceNet Safety System uses programmable safety circuits, dramatically improving
the ease of design and modification.
