Omron EtherNet/IP Remote I/O Blocks with Short- and Open-Circuit Detection Reduce Maintenance Downtime
SCHAUMBURG, IL (Sept. 9, 2011) – Omron Industrial Automation (www.Omron247.com) introduces
EtherNet/IP Remote I/O Blocks with short- and open-circuit detection to reduce troubleshooting time and
maintain productivity. The ERT1 series EtherNet/IP slave I/O blocks are available as high-density, 32-point, in-
panel IP20 models with removable cage clamp I/O connections and power connections that simplify installation
and servicing. Water-resistant IP67 rated, 16-point I/O models accept SmartClick and standard M12
connectors for I/O, power and network connections. The ERT1 series remote I/O blocks have been
conformance tested for interoperability with EtherNet/IP devices from a wide range of suppliers in addition to
Omron’s EtherNet/IP masters for CJ and CS series PLCs.
Diagnostics that Pinpoint Wiring Shorts and Sensor Errors in Seconds Not Hours The ERT1 I/O Block detects shorts at the sensor and prevents the short from affecting the rest of the inputs. It also
has LEDs to indicate which input or output is shorted. It also has I/O bits back to the master that alerts operators
when an input or output is shorted or open (broken sensor or broken wire to sensor). Each group of 16 I/O has its
own power terminals and the communications module has its own power terminals. This way the module can
monitor if power to the I/O terminals is lost. The LEDs are yellow for on, red for shorted, red flashing for
disconnected, and off for off. The short- and open-circuit detection can be enabled or disabled for each input/output.
IP20 EtherNet/IP I/O Blocks Simple, Fast Wiring – Cage clamp terminals provide vibration resistant wiring for short setup time and simple
debugging High Density– Small footprint saves panel space; 32 I/O, 24VDC, PNP--32 inputs, 32 outputs, or 16in/16out
versions. Tag Data Links – Multi vendor communications using CIP messaging makes it easy to talk to Omron and third-

IP67 EtherNet/IP I/O Blocks SmartClick D-coding M12 connectors – The “click” after 1/8 turn confirms the watertight connection is good.
This connector type is used for each I/O as well as the power and Ethernet connections. Tag Data Links – Multi-vendor communications using CIP messaging make it easy to talk to Omron and 3rd
party masters. I/O Power Monitor – The I/O block detects the field sensor I/O power and can provide fault status back to the
master for easy maintenance. IP67 Rated – for mounting directly on the machine, no panel required. 16-Point Input and Output Blocks with M12 SmartClick D-coding connectors; combine with Omron XS5W
connector cables. International Approvals: CE, cULus
The EtherNet/IP network can be configured using Omron’s CX-One Automation Software for master and slave
devices on the network. CX-One configures and supports all of ODVA’s CIP-based networks from a single
software license without additional plug-ins.
