New NXR-S Series Simple Logic Safety I/O Block Combines Distributed Safety Control With Centralized CIP Safety Management

New IP67 safety I/O block combines fast local safety logic with centralized CIP Safety management to simplify machine design, deployment, and maintenance.

OMRON Automation has announced the NXR-S Series Simple Logic Safety I/O Block for CIP Safety, a new distributed safety solution that brings safety logic closer to the point of action while maintaining centralized safety management. The NXR-S helps manufacturers standardize safety architectures across machines while reducing engineering, commissioning, and maintenance effort.

Unlike conventional remote safety I/O architectures, the NXR-S combines distributed safety control with centralized CIP Safety management. With response times as fast as 15 ms, the IP67-rated Safety I/O Block enables safety decisions to occur closer to the machine, helping improve responsiveness, simplify safety-distance design, and reduce overall system complexity.

The NXR-S is also designed to streamline installation and commissioning. SmartClick M12 connectivity supports power, Ethernet, and I/O connections, while single-cable connectivity options help reduce wiring complexity. The secure 1/8-turn SmartClick design eliminates the need for torque-controlled installation tools, helping enable faster, more consistent installation.

Built-in pre-defined, add-on, and user-defined safety applications further reduce commissioning effort and minimize reliance on specialized safety programming expertise. This combination of configurable local logic and centralized management gives machine builders greater flexibility to deploy consistent safety strategies across different machine designs and applications.

For maintenance teams, a built-in Web UI provides access to diagnostics, troubleshooting, status monitoring, and device replacement without dedicated software. The NXR-S also supports communication with multiple CIP Safety originators, giving manufacturers greater flexibility in safety architecture design while helping reduce redundant devices.

Designed to support global machine deployment, the NXR-S addresses major international functional safety requirements, including IEC 61508, ISO 13849, UL/FSPC requirements, and CIP Safety conformance standards.

By combining local safety logic, centralized CIP Safety management, simplified connectivity, and built-in diagnostics in a single IP67 platform, the NXR-S gives machine builders and manufacturers a more scalable approach to designing, deploying, and maintaining machine safety systems.

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
