Compliance with EC Directives
Applicable Directives
• EMC Directive (2014/30/EU)
• Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
Concepts
● EMC Directive
OMRON electrical devices are built into other components or equipment. OMRON therefore pursues
compliance with the related EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or
the equipment.*
OMRON cannot confirm compliance in the customer's actual application, however, because the customer may use a variety of components and equipment, and EMC performance depends on the configuration, wiring, and arrangement of the equipment and control panel into which a product applicable to
EC Directives is incorporated. Therefore, whether the products conform to the standards in the system
used by the customer must be checked by the customer.
* Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows: EN
61000-6-2 for EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility) and EN 61000-6-4 for Electromagnetic Interference (10-m regulations applied for EN 61000-6-4 radiated emission).
xxii
● Machinery Directive
The Machinery Directive requires ensuring the required safety for safety components used for machinery safety.
Applicable standards: EN ISO 13849-1:2015 and IEC/EN 62061 SIL CL3
● Conformance to EC Directives
The G9SP-series Controller complies with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which
the G9SP-series Controller is used complies with EC Directives, the following requirements must be
met.
• Make sure that the DC power supply connected to a DC Power Supply Unit or I/O
Unit satisfies the following conditions.
• There is double insulation or reinforced insulation between the primary circuit and secondary circuit.
• An isolated power supply that is limited to a current of 8 A or lower must be
used.
• The output hold time is 20 ms min.
• The power supply is a SELV power supply that satisfies requirements in IEC/
EN 60950-1 and EN 50178.
• G9SP-series products that comply with the EC Directives also comply with the
Generic Emission Standard (EN 61000-6-4) for EMI. The radiated emission characteristics (10-m regulations), however, may depend on the configuration of the control
panel that is used and the relation to and wiring with other connected devices. Even
through the G9SP-series Controller complies with EC Directives, the customer must
confirm that the overall machinery and equipment in which the G9SP-series Controller is used complies with the EC Directives.
EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC/EN 62061 Compliance
EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC/EN 62061 require process management to avoid system interference and to
simplify reading, understanding, testing, and maintaining software. This is required in all phases of the
life cycle of software programming and software design (e.g., basic software design, safety circuit system design, and software upgrades) in safety control systems to be developed using safety controllers.
Therefore, process management is required for design and development of software for facilities and
equipment that use the function blocks provided in the Safety Controller.
The customer must implement measures to ensure compliance with these standards.

The G9SP-series Safety Controller is a programmable controller that is
designed for easy operation in small to mid-sized Safety Control systems.
Using the G9SP-series Safety Controller enables building Safety Control systems that satisfy the requirements for SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) in IEC
61508 (Safety Standard for Safety Instrumented Systems: Functional Safety
of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems) and
IEC/EN 62061 (Safety of Machinery -- Functional Safety of Safety-related
Electrical, Electronic and Programmable Electronic Control Systems), as well
as safety category 4 and PLe (Performance Level e) in EN ISO 13849-1.
The use of Expansion I/O Units and optional products enables a wide variety
of applications.
