Safety Precautions

WARNING

Warnings

During Power Supply

Do not touch the terminal section while power is ON.

Electric shock may occur.

Do not attempt to take any Unit apart.

In particular, high-voltage parts are present in Units that supply power while power is supplied or immediately after power is turned OFF. Touching any of these parts may result in electric shock. There are sharp parts inside the Unit that may cause injury.

Fail-safe Measures

Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the CPU Unit, Industrial PC, other Units, or slaves or due to other external factors affecting operation.

Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation. Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures must be provided in external control circuits.

The CPU Unit or Industrial PC will turn OFF all outputs from Output Units in the following cases. The remote I/O slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.

• If a power supply error occurs.

• If the power supply connection becomes faulty.

• If a CPU watchdog timer error or CPU reset occurs.

• If a Controller error in the major fault level occurs.

• While the CPU Unit is on standby until RUN mode is entered after the power is turned ON

External safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system in such cases.

The outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safe operation of the system.

If external power supplies for slaves or other devices are overloaded or short-circuited, the voltage will drop, outputs will turn OFF, and the system may be unable to read inputs. Provide external safety measures in control with monitoring of external power supply voltage as required so that the system operates safely in such a case.

You must take fail-safe measures to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or other causes.

Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

Voltage and Current Inputs

Caution

Make sure that the voltages and currents that are input to the Units and slaves are within the specified ranges.

Inputting voltages or currents that are outside of the specified ranges may cause accidents or fire.

Transferring

Always confirm safety at the destination node before you transfer Unit configuration information, parameters, settings, or other data from tools such as the Sysmac Studio.

The devices or machines may operate unexpectedly, regardless of the operating mode of the Controller.

Cautions

Safety Precautions

Wiring

When you connect a computer or other peripheral device to a Communications Coupler Unit that has a non-isolated DC power supply, either ground the 0-V side of the external power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) or do not ground it at all.

If the peripheral devices are grounded incorrectly, the external power supply (i.e. Unit power supply) may be short-circuited.

Never ground the 24-V side of the power supply, as shown in the following figure.

Safety Precautions

Online Editing

Execute online editing only after confirming that no adverse effects will be caused by deviations in the timing of I/O. If you perform online editing, the task execution time may exceed the task period, I/O may not be refreshed with external devices, input signals may not be read, and output timing may change.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

Precautions for Safe Use

Transporting

• When transporting any Unit, use the special packing box for it. Also, do not subject the Unit to excessive vibration or shock during transportation.

• Do not drop any Unit or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock. Doing so may result in Unit malfunction or burning.

Mounting

• Mount terminal blocks and connectors only after checking the mounting location carefully.

• Be sure that the terminal blocks, expansion cables, and other items with locking devices are properly locked into place.

Precautions for Safe Use

Installation

• Do not apply labels or tape to the Unit. When the Unit is installed or removed, adhesive or scraps may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions.

• Do not touch the pins in the NX bus connector on the Unit. Dirt may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions.

Precautions for Safe Use

Restricted

region (shaded

portion)

Down

• Do not write on an NX Unit with ink within the restricted region that is shown in the following figure. Also do not get this area dirty. When the Unit is installed or removed, ink or dirt may adhere to the pins in the NX bus connector, which may result in malfunctions in the CPU Rack or Slave Terminal. Refer to the user's manual for the connected CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit for details on the restricted region on the CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit.

• For the installation orientations in the following figure, support the cables, e.g., with a duct, so that the End Plate on the bottom is not subjected to the weight of the cables. The weight of the cables may cause the bottom End Plate to slide downward so that the Slave Terminal is no longer secured to the DIN Track, which may result in malfunctions.

Wiring

• Double-check all switches and other settings and double-check all wiring to make sure that they are correct before turning ON the power supply.

• Use the correct wiring parts and tools when you wire the system.

• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Also, do not place heavy objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may break the cable.

• When wiring or installing the Units, do not allow metal fragments to enter the Units.

• Do not press the flat-blade screwdriver straight into the release holes on a screwless clamping terminal block. Doing so may damage the terminal block.

• When you insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a release hole on a screwless clamping terminal block, press it down with a force of 30N or less. Applying excessive force may damage the terminal block.

• Do not incline or twist the flat-blade screwdriver while it is in a release hole on a screwless clamping terminal block. Doing so may damage the terminal block.

• If you use reed switches for the input contacts for AC Input Units, use switches with an allowable current of 1 A or greater. If the capacity of the reed switches is too low, inrush current may fuse the contacts.

• Use crimp terminals for wiring the M3 screw terminal blocks. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to the M3 screw terminal blocks.

Power Supply Design

• Use all Units within the I/O power supply ranges that are given in the specifications.

• Use the I/O power supply current for the CPU Rack of the NX-series NX1P2 CPU Unit at 4 A or less. Using the currents that are outside of the specifications may cause failure or damage.

• Supply sufficient power according to the contents of this manual.

• Use the power supply voltage that is specified in this manual.

• Do not apply voltages that exceed the rated value to any Input Unit.

• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units or slaves in excess of the maximum ratings.

• Inrush current occurs when the power supply is turned ON. When selecting fuses or breakers for external circuits, consider their fusing and detection characteristics as well as the above precautions and allow sufficient margin in shut-off performance.

• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuiting and overcurrents in external wiring.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

Precautions for Safe Use

Turning ON the Power Supply

• When you set the Operating Mode at Startup, confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system.

Actual Operation

• Before you start operation, always register the NX Units that are connected to the Communications Coupler Unit in the host communications master as the Unit Configuration Information.

• Check the user program, data, and parameter settings for proper execution before you use them for actual operation.

• If you change the fail-soft operation setting, the output status when the error occurs may also change. Confirm safety before you change the fail-soft operation setting.

• If you use fail-soft operation, write programming to determine whether Unit I/O data is valid. Without such programming, the user program cannot distinguish between Units for which I/O refreshing is continued and Units for which I/O refreshing is stopped.

Turning OFF the Power Supply

• Do not disconnect the cable or turn OFF the power supply to the Controller or a Slave Terminal when downloading data or the user program from Support Software.

• Always turn OFF the external power supply to the Units before attempting any of the following.

Mounting or removing an NX Unit, Communications Coupler Unit, CPU Unit, or Industrial PC Assembling Units Setting DIP switches or rotary switches Connecting or wiring cables Attaching or removing terminal blocks or connectors

Units that supply power continue to supply power to the Units for up to several seconds after the power supply is turned OFF. The PWR indicator remains lit as long as power is supplied. Confirm that the PWR indicator is not lit before you perform any of the above.

Operation

• Confirm that the controlled system will not be adversely affected before you perform any of the following operations.

Changing the operating mode of the CPU Unit or Industrial PC (including changing the setting of the Operating Mode at Startup) Changing the user program or settings Changing set values or present values Forced refreshing

• Always sufficiently check the safety at the connected devices before you change the settings of a slave or Unit.

General Communications

• Do not exceed the ranges that are given in the specifications for the communications distance and number of connected Units.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

Precautions for Safe Use

Unit Replacement

• When you replace a Unit, start operation only after you transfer the settings and variables that are required for operation to the new Unit.

• Default values of I/O allocation differ between the IO-Link Master Unit with unit version 1.0 and one with unit version 1.1. If you replace a Unit with unit version 1.0 with a Unit with unit version 1.1 or later, set the I/O allocation to the same setting as the Unit with unit version 1.0. Replacing the Unit without changing the I/O allocation may result in erroneous output, erroneous input, and a change in the timing of I/O.

Disposal

• Dispose of the product according to local ordinances as they apply.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

Precautions for Correct Use

Storage, Mounting, and Wiring

• Follow the instructions in this manual to correctly perform installation and wiring.

• Do not operate or store the Units in the following locations. Doing so may result in malfunction, in operation stopping, or in burning.

Locations subject to direct sunlight Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in the specifications Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals Locations subject to shock or vibration

• Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures during installation in the following locations.

Locations subject to strong, high-frequency noise Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity Locations close to power lines

• Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order to discharge any static build-up.

• Use the rated power supply voltage for the Units that supply power. Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied in places where the power supply is unstable.

• Install the Units away from sources of heat and ensure proper ventilation. Not doing so may result in malfunction, in operation stopping, or in burning.

• Do not allow foreign matter to enter the openings in the Unit. Doing so may result in Unit burning, electric shock, or failure.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

Regulations and Standards

Conformance to EU Directives

Applicable Directives

• EMC Directives

• Low Voltage Directive

Concepts

 EMC Directives

OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards.*1

Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer. EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EU Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.

Regulations and Standards

*1. Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:

EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2 EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2 (Radiated emission: 10-m regulations).

 Low Voltage Directive

Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to 1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards. The applicable directive is EN 61010-2-201.

 Conformance to EU Directives

The NX-series Units comply with EU Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the NX-series Units are used complies with EU Directives, the following precautions must be observed.

• The NX-series Units must be installed within a control panel.

• The SELV requirements must be satisfied for the DC power supplies that are connected as the Unit power supplies and I/O power supplies for the NX-series Units.

For CPU Racks with NX-series NX1P2 CPU Units, we recommend that you use OMRON S8VK-S-series Power Supplies. For Slave Terminals, we recommend that you use OMRON S8JX-series Power Supplies. EMC standard compliance was confirmed for these recommended Power Supplies.

• NX-series Units that comply with EU Directives also conform to the Common Emission Standard (EN 61131-2). Radiated emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions.

You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment in which the NX-series Units are used complies with EU Directives.

• You must use power supplies with an output hold time of 10 ms or longer for the DC power supplies that are connected as the Unit power supplies and I/O power supplies for the NX-series Units.

1 Features and System Configuration

1-1 Features of the IO-Link Master Units

This section describes the features of IO-Link Master Units.

1-1-1 Introduction

An IO-Link Master Unit is an NX Unit that has I/O processing functions for IO-Link communications with IO-Link devices and I/O processing functions for digital I/O data (ON/OFF signals) with non-IO-Link devices.

1-1-2 Features

The NX-series IO-Link Master Unit has the following features.

Connectable to CPU Units and Communications Coupler Units

NX-series IO-Link Master Units are NX Units. They can be connected to the following Units.

• NX-series NX1P2 CPU Unit

• NX-series Communications Coupler Units

If you use both CPU Units and Communications Coupler Units, you can use the same NX Unit mounting, wiring, and setup methods to reduce design costs.

Reading of Control Signals, Status, Wiring, and Power Supply Status of IO-Link Devices from the Controller

The controller can read the following information as IO-Link Master Unit status.

• Signals and status of the IO-Link devices (examples for photoelectric sensor: unstable detection and sensor errors)

• Disconnections, short-circuits, I/O power ON status, etc., between the IO-Link master and devices

Inputting Digital Signals from Sensors and Other IO-Link Devices during IO-Link Communications

With IO-Link devices that support digital inputs for pin 2,*1 the IO-Link Master Unit can simultaneously perform both IO-Link communications and receive the digital inputs.

This enables rapid input during IO-Link communications.

*1. Digital inputs that use pin 2 of IO-Link Master Unit ports.

1 - 2

Combining IO-Link Devices with General-purpose Sensors and Actuators

• You can connect a combination of IO-Link devices and non-IO-Link devices, such as general-purpose sensors and actuators, to the same IO-Link Master Unit. This allows a single master to function as an IO-Link communications terminal, a digital input terminal, and a digital output terminal.

• When you change from an existing system to an IO-Link System, there is no need to replace the cables of existing general-purpose sensors or actuators.

NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User’s Manual (W567)

1 Features and System Configuration

Checking for Incorrect Connections of IO-Link Devices When IO-Link Communications Start

You can register in advance ID information on the IO-Link devices that should connect to the ports of the IO-Link Master Unit to enable verifying the connections of the IO-Link devices when IO-Link communications start. This lets you reduce commissioning and maintenance work.

1-1 Features of the IO-Link Mas-

ter Units

Easy Replacement of IO-Link Devices

 Simple Backup and Restoration of IO-Link Device Parameters

For OMRON’s IO-Link Master Units, you can back up parameter settings of the IO-Link devices in the IO-Link Master Unit.

When you replace IO-Link devices, you can automatically restore those backup parameters in the new IO-Link devices.

This eliminates the need for software tools when replacing IO-Link devices.

This is the central control Unit in the Machine Automation Controller. It executes tasks and performs I/O refreshing and other processing for other Units and slaves. NX Units can be connected to an NX1P2 CPU Unit.

Units exchange data with the CPU Unit during I/O refreshing. You can connect up to eight NX Units to an NX1P2 CPU Unit.

The Sysmac Studio runs on a personal computer and it is used to set up, program, debug, and troubleshoot NJ/NX/NY-series Controllers.

With an NX1P2 CPU Unit, settings are made with the personal computer connected to the built-in EtherNet/IP port.

The CX-ConfiguratorFDT is used to set the parameters of the IO-Link devices.

The ESI file contains information that is unique to the EtherCAT Slave Terminal in XML format. You can load the ESI file into the Sysmac Studio to easily allocate Slave Terminal process data and configure other settings.

The ESI files for OMRON EtherCAT slaves are already installed in the Sysmac Studio. You can obtain the ESI files for the latest models through the Sysmac Studio’s automatic update function.

These files contain IO-Link device definitions.

The IODD files for OMRON’s IO-Link devices are automatically installed when you install CX-ConfiguratorFDT. If you use IO-Link devices from another company, you must install the IODD files for the IO-Link devices of that company in CX-ConfiguratorFDT.

1-2 System Configuration

1-2-2 System Configurations of Slave Terminals

Slave Terminal is a generic name for a building-block remote I/O slave that contains a group of NX Units connected to a Communications Coupler Unit.

The NX Units can be flexibly combined with a Communications Coupler Unit to achieve the optimum remote I/O slave for the application with less wiring, less work, and less space.

The following figure shows an example of the system configuration when an EtherCAT Coupler Unit is used as a Communications Coupler Unit.

4-2-1 I/O Power Supply Methods and Applications

This section describes the I/O power supply methods and applications for IO-Link Master Units.

I/O Power Supply Applications

The I/O power supply is used for the following applications.

• Power supply for I/O devices

• Power supply for I/O circuits

• Input current in SIO (DI) Mode

• External load current in SIO (DO) Mode

I/O Power Supply Methods

This power is supplied by one of the following methods.

 Supply from the NX Bus

The I/O power supply method depends on the connection position of the IO-Link Master Unit as described below

• When the IO-Link Master Unit is connected to an NX1P2 CPU Unit: I/O power is supplied through the NX bus connectors by connecting an I/O power supply to the I/O power supply terminals on the Additional I/O Power Supply Unit.

• When the IO-Link Master Unit is connected to a Communications Coupler Unit: I/O power is supplied through the NX bus connectors by connecting an I/O power supply to the I/O power supply terminals on the Communications Coupler Unit or an Additional I/O Power Supply Unit.

Refer to Designing the Power Supply System and Wiring in the hardware user’s manual for the connected CPU Unit for details on when I/O power is supplied in a CPU Rack.

Additional Information

 Supply from External Source

Power is supplied to the Units from an external source.

I/O power is supplied by connecting an I/O power supply to the I/O power supply terminals on the Units.

NX-series Power Supply-related Units

The following three NX-series Units are related to power supply.

• Additional NX Unit Power Supply Units

• Additional I/O Power Supply Units

• I/O Power Supply Connection Units

Refer to the NX-series System Unit User’s Manual (Cat. No. W523) for the specifications of these Units.

For a complete list of the latest power supply Units in the NX Series, refer to the product catalog or official website, or contact your OMRON representative.

4-2-2 Calculating the Total Current Consumption from I/O Power Sup-

ply

The total current consumption of I/O power supplied from the NX bus must be within the range of the maximum I/O power supply current of the Communications Coupler Unit or the Additional I/O Power Supply Unit. For CPU Racks, the maximum I/O power supply current is restricted regardless of the Additional I/O Power Supply Unit model. Refer to the hardware user’s manual for the CPU Unit to which the NX Units are connected for details on restrictions for CPU Racks.

To confirm this and to calculate the I/O power supply capacity, calculate the total current consumption from I/O power supply from the NX bus.

The total current consumption from I/O power supply from the NX bus is the total sum of current consumption from I/O power supply of the NX Unit that supplies the I/O power from the NX bus, the current consumption of each applicable I/O circuit, and current consumption of any connected external devices.

Note that the current consumption from I/O power supply indicated in the data sheet for each Unit type does not include the load current of any external connection load and current consumption of any connected external devices.

The current consumption from I/O power supply of the IO-Link Master Unit is calculated as described below.

 Total Current Consumption of the IO-Link Master Unit from the I/O Power

Supply

= (Current consumption from I/O power supply of the IO-Link Master Unit) + (Input current × Number of input points used) + (Load current × Number of output points used) + (Total current consumption of connected external devices)

Refer to A-1 Data Sheet on page A-2 for the current consumption from the I/O power supply and input current for each model of the IO-Link Master Units.

4-3-2 Checking the Wiring

Check the wiring from the Watch Tab Page or other interface of the Support Software by reading Slave Terminal input data and writing Slave Terminal output data.

For inputs in SIO (DI) Mode or digital inputs for pin 2, you can turn ON and OFF the input from the external device that is connected to the Unit you need to check and monitor the results.

For SIO (DO) Mode, you can control the I/O outputs to the Unit you need to check and confirm the operation of the connected external device.

Refer to the operation manual for your Support Software for details on monitoring and output operations for I/O.

• In the Sysmac Studio, you can check the wiring from the I/O Map or Watch Tab Page. If you use the I/O Map, you can also monitor and perform forced refreshing even if the variables are not defined or the algorithms are not created. Therefore, you can easily check the wiring. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for details on monitoring and forced refreshing operations.

• Some Communications Coupler Units support I/O checking that allows you to check wiring with only the Slave Terminal. Refer to the user's manual of the Communications Coupler Unit for detailed information on the support and functionality of I/O checking for your Communications Coupler Unit.
