FREMONT, CA | Omron Scientific Technologies is offering to select customers’ free G9SP software for purchases of G9SP Programmable Safety Controllers made between March 1st, 2012, and May 31st, 2012. This software enables users to design, verify, standardize, and reuse safety control easily, while also making it easy to reconfigure G9SP safety controllers when new safety features are added to the application set-up. G9SP software is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 operating systems.

Qualifications for the free software include: • One or more purchases of multiple G9SP safety controllers made between March 1st, 2012, and May 31st, 2012 • Customers who place a qualifying order will receive a link and a license number for their free software download, and multiple licenses may be provided depending on the size of the order.

“G9SPs are software-based, stand-alone controllers that are quickly programmed to satisfy the complex safety control needs of small and mid-sized machines,” says Omron STI product manager Kenji Kawasaki, “and they are easily reconfigured to solve evolving machine set-up needs. As a result, they are an ideal stand-alone safety control solution in packaging, food and beverage…and printing applications where customer-driven machine set-up changes demand equally flexible safety solutions.”

G9SP programmable safety controllers deliver clear diagnostics and monitoring via Ethernet or Serial connection, and support direct connection with safety light curtains, safety laser scanners, noncontact switches, and safety mats. They are ISO 13849-1(PLe) and IEC61508 (SIL3) certified.
