NX-OD4256 Omron Automation PLC Expansion Module, 8 Transistor Output, 12 to 24 VDC, NX Series NX-OD4256

Descriptions
Omron NX Family of Series — NX-ID/IA/OD/OC/MD | Modular Digital I/O Unit:

The NX Series is a range of modular designed units that integrate standard I/O and safety and connect to the EtherNet/IP network via Communication Coupler Units. The modern remote I/O demands increasing levels of flexibility. The EtherNet/IP Communication Unit enables connection between the CJ-series or other Programmable Controller and NX-series I/O through EtherNet/IP, which expands system configuration possibilities. Modular remote I/O systems offer flexibility in I/O configuration and a wide choice of signal types and performance levels so that every I/O station can be assembled with just the right combination without changing the control architecture. By using standard Ethernet cables and connectors, only basic tools are required to install and maintain networks.

While different machines may require different levels of controller performance, NX-series is the only remote I/O system you will need. This will unify wiring and installation techniques, and simplify spare parts stock. Safety control programs that are created using the NX I/O Edition can be standardized and reused throughout the machine portfolio, which will reduce the time required for development, testing and certification

Series Features:

• High-speed I/O refreshing using the EtherCAT coupler
• I/O refreshing synchronized with the control cycle of the controller (synchronous refreshing)
• Time-stamp inputs and outputs anywhere in the EtherCAT network can be independently controlled with sub-microsecond accuracy
• Detachable terminals for easy maintenance
• Screwless Push-In Plus terminal block or MIL/Fujitsu connector speeds up installation
• Compact with a width of 12 mm per unit (connector type: 30 mm)
• 4, 8, 16 or 32 inputs for flexible I/O configuration (NX-ID/IA)
• 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 outputs for flexible I/O configuration (NX-OD/OC)
• Connect to the CJ PLC using the EtherNet/IPTM bus coupler
• EN ISO13849-1 (PLe/Safety Category 4), IEC 61508 (SIL3) certified
• 4 or 8 points per Safety Input Unit. 2 or 4 points per Safety Output Unit
• The Safety Units can be freely allocated in any combination with standard NX I/O
• Small system size allows space savings in the cabinet.
• Direct Diagnostic with LED's.
• Easy wiring and easy to maintain
