Omron NX1 PLC

Omron NX1 PLC completes NX / NJ family of machine controllers by offering the same functionality as the other models in a compact size. Omron NX1 PLC integrates advanced motion control and sequence control. Synchronized motion improves productivity by enabling continuous operations to meet various production needs. With the Omron NX1 PLC is possible to use device data, acquired via EtherCAT or IO-Link networks, with continuous monitoring of working conditions and process parameters. The Sysmac Studio integrated development environment facilitates design and debugging. The monitoring of devices connected via EtherCAT through the Omron NX1 PLC allows remote maintenance.

 

Omron NX1 PLC and Sysmac platform

The Sysmac automation platform provides an integrated solution that includes the best in machine controllers that work seamlessly with the best devices in the field via the fastest network of machines on the market (EtherCAT). The Sysmac automation platform comes programmed, configured and simulated by a single software (Sysmac Studio) and can be accessed through a single connection (Ethernet / IP).
The Omron NX1 PLC has been designed entirely according to the Sysmac architecture, and supports a PLC core and motion control that allows you to control the machines with great precision. The integrated real-time EtherCAT network simplifies wiring and offers synchronized axis control, remote I / O and safety devices with a cycle time of 2 ms. A rich set of motion control Function Blocks and a library of applications reduces engineering time.

 

Integrated development environment:

One software with an integrated development environment for configuration, programming, simulation and monitoring.

 

Omron NX1 PLC – models:

Omron NX1 PLC is produced in 6 models: the basic model is the Omron NX1P2-9024DT PLC which is able to control 4 PTP axes with 14 DI and 10 DO. The NX1P2-1040DT model also allows the control of two motion axes, while the Omron NX1P2-1140DT PLC can control 4 motion axes, 4 PTP axes with 24 DI and 16 DO.

Sysmac Studio

Sysmac Studio software offers a design and operating environment for configuration, programming, simulation and monitoring. Sysmac Studio was created to offer machine developers complete control from a single environment. Sysmac Studio integrates configuration, programming, simulation and platform monitoring into a single intuitive and consistent user interface. Sysmac Studio is the only software required for creating an application with the Sysmac platform: from the NJ series controller, which combines logic and motion control, to vision systems and Safety.

Compliance with the best known standards

Fully compliant with IEC 61131-3 open standards, Sysmac Studio offers a state-of-the-art programming environment based on ladder diagrams, structured text programming languages ​​and program organization units that include programs, functions and function blocks. In addition, motor control instructions based on PLC open standards and an IEC compliant instruction set are included. Offering a familiar programming environment virtually eliminates the time it takes to learn new software, allowing for quick use.

Programming with variables

It is not necessary to know the NJ controller’s internal memory map. Sysmac Studio automatically allocates available memory in the CPU unit to variables created to promote faster development and reduce errors. This also eliminates the waiting time for the hardware definition of memory addresses before starting software development. Hardware and software can therefore be designed independently and developed in parallel.

Ease of use

Sysmac Studio has minimized restrictions on design procedures to allow project building to begin from anywhere in the system. The configuration is characterized by intuitive operating procedures with perfectly adapted guides that do not interfere in any way with the workflow. This ensures extremely easy operation which allows for flexible design work where even errors in settings and procedures can be corrected immediately or later upon finalization of the project, provided they do not cause serious accidents.

Full debugging

Sysmac Studio offers comprehensive functions for debugging sequence control, such as changing actual values ​​and online programming. It also provides debugging functions with motion control simulations, such as displaying results in 2D or 3D and displaying traces on virtual devices. The new 3D Simulation tool gives the programmer the ability to see the physical motion and sequence of the machine as direct results of the implemented code and configuration.

To accurately simulate motion control, Sysmac Studio provides instructions for creating virtual external signals such as positive / negative limit switches, home position proximity signal, immediate stop input signals and external latch. Motion alert and alarm instructions can also be implemented as additional fault recovery control measures. The included data trace function also offers a high level of detail and allows the display of a time diagram in parallel with the path markers in 2D or 3D. The simulation results are recorded in a data trace file, to allow for a more accurate analysis of performance and to ensure proper operation. The combination of 3D motion simulation with the CPU emulation program provides the programmer with utilities to evaluate the correct sequence, optimal path control, minimum execution time and other critical operations. As a result, the distance between machine design and operation is drastically reduced in this way.

Maximum safety

Advanced investment and machine protection features are provided as standard in Sysmac Studio. The prevention of incorrect connections and operations or improper acquisition of programs and functions are essential elements in the realization of small and large projects. Functions such as confirming controller names and serial IDs, administrator access rights, and controller write protection protect the machine when authenticating user program execution and having a password to access control files. project protect development intellectual property. Your system will always be safe thanks to the 32-digit password protection.

Task control

Task management, a function common to the NJ series controller and Sysmac Studio, ensures the planned operation of the control system. The Task System used by NJ-series controllers allows you to assign a condition and order of execution to a variety of processes, such as updating I / O and executing user programs. This new level of control allows the programmer to select how the CPU should operate during runtime to ensure consistently fast operation throughout the life of the machine. Sysmac Studio offers powerful performance evaluation tools and simple and clear adjustments for configuring tasks. Only valid options are displayed for a task selection, providing the user with practical guidance on correct configuration. Once the configuration is chosen, the timing of the schedule can be monitored to ensure optimal operation. Task Execution Time Monitor can be used with Simulator to view execution times before downloading to physical controller. These new software “tools” allow the user to predict machine operation prior to implementation rather than face unexpected situations during commissioning.
