One Sysmac Controller
NX and NJ Controller Series – Powerful & Easy to Configure
The Omron controller is at the heart of the Sysmac platform. It offers synchronous control of all machine devices and advanced functionality such as motion, robotics and database connectivity. This multidisciplinary concept allows you to simplify solution architecture, reduce programming and optimize productivity.
It’s designed to meet extreme requirements for logic sequence and motion control speed and accuracy.
Full integration for every part of your automation system
One Controller
The NJ/NX/NY Controller is at the heart of the Sysmac platform. It is designed to meet the most stringent requirements for logic sequence and motion control speed with unparalleled precision. It adheres to the highest industry standards including PLC Open and IEC-61131, elevating it to a top-tier controller with seamless interoperability with other devices. The device is engineered with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring it can handle even the most demanding tasks with ease.
One Connection
The Sysmac platform is an advanced and cutting-edge technology that is designed to deliver exceptional performance in industrial operations. This powerful platform has been built on two open industrial Ethernet protocols – EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP, which are known for their robustness and reliability. The integration of these two protocols ensures that the platform provides an ideal solution for achieving real-time machine control and data plant management.
One Software
Sysmac Studio is integrated software equipped with powerful features including configuration, programming, and monitoring capabilities. It gives you complete control over your automation system. The software is designed with graphics-oriented configuration which enables swift and hassle-free set-up of the system. With Sysmac Studio, you can expect outstanding performance and complete control over your industrial operations.
