Feature PLCs & Industrial PCs Sysmac automation platform
Sysmac is the latest machine automation platform from Omron with integration throughout - from controller to software
T
he guiding principles behind the Sysmac automation platform are one control for the entire machine or production cell, and open communication and open pro- gramming standards.
The result is a powerful and robust automation platform that integrates motion, logic sequencing, robotics, networking and vision inspection, and a new software that includes configu- ration, programming, simulation and monitoring using a fast machine net- work (EtherCAT) to control motion, vision, sensors and actuators.
Remote I/O With either modular or block type dis- tributed I/O, you can choose the style best suited to your needs. The NX-series modular EtherCAT I/O system supports synchronous (Distributed Clock) high speed I/O. The modular Smartslice series can be connected to various open networks, and offers preventive mainte- nance features and hot swapping. The block type GX series is dedicated to EtherCAT and has a fixed I/O size.
Servos
Great machines are born from a perfect match between control and mechan- ics. G5 gives you that extra edge to build more accurate, faster, smaller and safer machines.
S6 Software
Created to give you complete control over your automation system, Sysmac Studio integrates configuration, pro- gramming, monitoring and simulation in a simple interface. Driving the pow- erful NJ-series machine automation controller gives you total control of the entire machine via a single and easy to use software.
Inverters
Thanks to its advanced design and algo- rithms, the MX2 provides smooth con- trol down to zero speed, plus precise operation for cyclic operations and torque control capability in open loop. The MX2 is fully integrated within the Sysmac automation platform.
Vision sensors
The FQ-M series is a vision sensor designed specifically for pick and place applications. It comes with EtherCAT embedded and can be con- figured and monitored from Sysmac Studio software. The FQ-M series is compact, fast and includes an incre- mental encoder input for easy tracking and calibration.
Robots
The Delta solution can achieve up to 200 cycles per minute and can be synchronised with multiple convey-

ors to perform on the fly pick and place operations. The system offers two types of robot arms - Delta and Mini Delta. The NJ controller offers a response time of 2ms when control- ling eight Delta robots or 1ms when controlling four robots.
Integrated safety control The Sysmac automation platform inte- grates the safety solution within one connection and one software concept. One connection is realised through the use of Safety over EtherCAT - FSoE - protocol. Sysmac Studio software is utilised for configuration, program- ming and maintenance. The NX safety system consists of safety controller and safety I/O units and can be freely distributed in an I/O rack throughout the network, mixing them in any com- bination with standard NX I/O.
One machine network EtherCAT is the fastest emerging net- work for machine automation. It is fast, accurate and highly efficient. One connection via the NJ-Series controller allows seamless control and communi- cation with both the machine and the factory. The NJ-Series controllers join the world standard factory automation network, EtherNet/IP, with the best Ethernet-based machine control net- work, EtherCAT.
