I am working on a project where I could use either the Smartguard 600 Safety Controller or NE1A-SCPU02 Safety Controller.
The NE1A-SCP02 Controller has 40 inputs where the Smartguard only has 16. I still need more and am adding a 8in8out safety module.
I really don't have the panel space to use the Smartguard. So Omron here I go.
My question is does anyone have experience with communicating with the NE1A through devicenet with an AB processor (5/05 with Scanner module in the Rack).
You use Omrons Network Configurator for the NE1A, RsNetworkx seems to work, havn't tried online yet.
The current setup is as follows
3 Hydraulic Trim Presses
4 Robots
6 Conveyors
Will add
3 NE1A's
3 8in8out Modules
2 of the Presses have 1 robot each, with 2 conveyors
and will get 1 NE1A each with 1 8in8out module
The other Press is the same as above with an extra robot.
I don't have the Rack space to add another Devicenet Scanner either.
Any help as always is much appreciated.
