NE1A DeviceNet Safety Network Controller
Omron/STI's new NE1A Safety DeviceNet Controller revolutionizes safety systems the way PLCs changed industrial automation from relay panels to flexible operation.
  • Can be used 3-ways: as a Stand-alone controller; as an expandable Safety network with remote I/O blocks; or combined with an existing DeviceNet network to form a Safety + Control Network
  • Eliminate long runs of complicated wiring during installation. This system replaces wiring with a network between safety components distributed over many different locations
  • Programmable safety function blocks eliminate rewiring to make modifications
  • Safety I/O Terminals can be added to increase safety I/O capacity for distributed allocation through the network
  • Utilize existing DeviceNet network wiring for DeviceNet Safety System to eliminate costly parallel safety network
  • Individual I/O LED status and error indicators
  • USB Programming Port
  • UL1604 Class 1, Div. 2 Groups A, B, C, D for use in hazardous environments
S8VM Switching Power Supplies
Omron’s S8VM series satisfies OEM’s needs for small-sized, low cost power supplies.
  • Space Efficient- the slim design and uniform mounting height saves panel space.
  • Time Efficient - Every detail focuses on saving you installation and maintenance time: captive terminal screws don’t get lost and an undervoltage alarm helps troubleshoot the cause of a power fault. Omron’s S8VM power supplies maximize machine uptime by offering high reliability, simplified diagnostics, and
    reduced time spent installing and maintaining controls.
  • Easy to maintain - Unique Undervoltage Alarm Function makes fault diagnosis easier: identifies difference between a momentary power failure, output short-circuit, and trouble with the power supply itself.
  • Reliable - The S8VM offers great reliability, simplified troubleshooting, and reduced time spent installing and maintaining controls
  • Compliant - UL508 Listing allows full load rating to be used in panels, UL1604 rating (Class 1, Div 2) for hazardous areas, RoHS compliant , lead-free design
  • Versatile - Five power capacities 15W, 30W, 50W, 100W and 150W, and four output voltages 5V, 12V, 15V and 24V
ZS Smart Measurement Sensor
The ZS Series is a 2D CMOS laser type displacement sensor. It is provided with a number of high performance sensing functions that uses the speed and power of its 2D CMOS image sensor: it combines simplicity of use with compact size while having high speed response capability free from data degradation as a result of 100% digit handling of data.  Omron's ZS Smart Sensor extends beyond traditional measurement sensor markets by addressing specific applications within a variety of markets:

  • Automotive Electronics
  • Digital consumer electronics
  • Semiconductor
NSJ All-in-One HMI and Controller
Omron’s new NSJ delivers world-class display, control, and DeviceNet expandability in one package. Reduce panel space and hardware and installation costs with this fully integrated HMI and controller. The NSJ offers the highest clarity of screens on the market with best-in-class contrast ratio, brightness, MTBF, and viewing angle specifications presenting a spectacular “face to the machine”.

  • Four display sizes: 5.7”, 8.4”, 10.4” and 12.1”
  • Large controller capacity equivalent to Omron’s CJ1-Series PLCs
  • Up to 60 MB screen capacity; 256 colors (32,768 colors for BMP/JPEG images)
  • Dual processors ensure faster program execution and screen updates than other graphic logic controllers
  • Standard on-board DeviceNet Master for distributed I/O applications
  • Ethernet communications available
  • Expandable system uses conventional PLC local I/O, up to 30 CJ1W I/O units
  • One software tool integrates display/logic development and diagnostic tools: CX-ONE
  • Remote diagnostics:  Access NSJ units over modems or Internet for remote monitoring and servicing.
E2FM All-Stainless Inductive Sensor
Omron’s E2FM one-piece 303 stainless steel face/barrel
construction resists damage caused by work-piece contact,
scouring abrasion, and harsh chemicals. Operation is not
influenced by the accumulation of aluminum or iron cutting chips and weld slag providing reliable sensing in harsh metal fabrication and machining environments.

  • Up to 0.8 mm thick sensing face for superior mechanical durability, wear resistance
  • Operation not influenced by accumulation of aluminum or iron cutting chips and weld slag
  • 20% longer sensing range (10 mm) with M30 models versus the CENELEC standard 8 mm
  • Flush mountable in ferrous materials to protect sensor from side impact damage
  • Wrench flats for easy installation
  • Standard M8, M12, M18 and M30 sizes; normally open contacts; 3 wire DC PNP open collector and 2 wire DC polarity and non-polarity sensitive models
  • M12 connectors shorten service time: 3-wire DC models have built-in connectors; 2-wire DC models have a 0.3 m pig-tail lead with connector
  • IP67 enclosure rating
E3ZM Detergent-Resistant Photoelectric Sensor
Omron’s E3ZM sensor in 316L stainless steel case reduces your replacement frequency and maintenance costs by surviving high pressure, caustic washdown up to 200 times longer than other plastic sensors (tested with TEK121).

  • Ideal for prolonged chemical, detergent and disinfectant exposure in Food & Beverage applications
