Omron's SmartSlice
is a modular remote I/O system full of patented, smart features - making
it the most intelligent and easy-to-use remote I/O system currently
available. SmartSlice will allow you to minimise engineering,
troubleshooting and maintenance in your machine, line or plant, resulting
in significantly reduced downtime.
Cost-Efficient Operation
Fast installation, easy configuration, reduced wiring, efficient use of
cabinet space and built-in diagnostics all combine to make SmartSlice a
key element of Omron's cost-efficient control solution. Furthermore, its
high degree of modularity means it can be tailored to meet your specific
requirements; you install just the right amount of I/O needed for each
application.
Smart and Compact Design
Highly Compact
More compact than any other modular I/O system - with a height of only 80
mm - SmartSlice takes up very little space in your control cabinet. With a
3-wire input connection there is no need for additional power distribution
rails; all your field wiring, including sensor power supply, can be
directly connected to the units.
Reliable 3-piece Construction
All SmartSlice modules have a 3-piece construction. Interlocking bus
blocks build the backplane of the system. The electronics module and
removable terminal block plug into the backplane, enabling you to:
-
Replace electronic modules while the bus
structure and field wiring stay intact. During hot-swapping, all other
I/O units continue to operate.
-
Detach I/O terminals for per-wiring,
maintenance or testing.
All contact surfaces between the electronics module and connectors are
gold-plated for 100% reliable connections.
Easy Push-in Wiring for Quick Installation
The SmartSlice terminal blocks provide fast and reliable screwless clamp
connections. The 'push-in' design allows tool-less insertion of terminated
wires. Each individual connection is equipped with a test point to help
verification of connections during commissioning and troubleshooting. Each
terminal block has a pull-out label holder showing the terminal assignment
of the unit.
The Smart Way to Configure
Fast Backup and Restore
With all the intelligence and advanced functions in SmartSlice units,
backup and recovery of settings are important to support fast maintenance
and repair of your machine. These functions are therefore also tool-less
in SmartSlice. Al I/O unit data can be backed up in the bus interface unit
at the flick of a switch. Recovery is even simpler; after hot-swapping a
unit, all settings are automatically loaded.
Easy to Setup and Maintain
When used with Omron DeviceNet Master Units, no configuration is required
at all. Simply set a bus address and connect. After startup, the I/O
configuration can be stored with a single switch to make sure any
incorrect change of units is detected.
