Sysmac Studio is a unique environment that integrates logic, motion and drives, robotics, safety, visualization, sensing and information technologies in a single project, thus reducing the learning curve and the intra-operative software costs. Team development, and integrated simulation are the key elements that make Sysmac Studio not only a development studio but a real productivity tool. One software to get things done.

Sysmac Studio License

Single and Team License Packages

Omron offers a simple process to purchase a Sysmac Studio license. In most cases, one license can cover all users’ application needs with only a one-time fee and no maintenance contracts.

With the ever-present need for increased performance, the NA family of HMI terminals makes it fast and easy to implement dynamic intuitive user interfaces that will boost productivity and minimize downtime.

NA Series Advanced Programmable Terminal/HMI

Robust machine control architecture need to remain robust when scaled to line and factory control architectures. Reliable machine to machine communication, holistic programming software, and HMI’s which clearly communicate with the plant floor are all requirements.

With Sysmac Automation Platform, you can achieve seamless integration and reliable data aggregation across the factory, simplifying solution architecture and reducing programming. Experience efficient, flexible, and high performing manufacturing with Sysmac’s one connection, one controller, and one software.

A breadth of NX compatible devices requires a diverse range of I/O units. With a portfolio of over 120 I/O units, the Sysmac NX I/O portfolio is ready to connect to any device on the shop floor, keeping you always in control. Its ultra-fast internal bus system is synchronized with the Distributed Clock of the EtherCAT network. The resulting system-wide deterministic I/O operation allows machine builders to improve machine production rates and output quality.

Omron Digital I/O

Digital I/O

The NX-series let you mix economical standard I/O's with high-speed synchronous models. The standard digital I/O's have 16 connections per unit, with a choice of:

  • 3-wire sensor connection with power supply (4-channel units)
  • 2-wire contact inputs or actuator outputs (8-channel-units)
  • 1-wire connection for sensors and actuators already connected to a common power supply (16-channel units)

Analog I/O

Input signals from analogue sensors, 4-20 mA transmitters, thermocouples or resistance thermometers can easily be connected and used for monitoring, data logging, trending or PID control. Analogue units are offered with sampling times down to 10 µs per channel and high resolution (1:30,000). Built-in filtering, offset correction, broken wire- and overrange detection are all standard functions. The user can select from 12 different thermocouple characteristics, °C/°F and indication resolution down to 0.01 degree. With up to eight inputs in just 12 mm width, the NX-series are among the most compact modules on the market today.

The controller is the hub of the Sysmac platform and the heart of integrated automation solutions. One integrated controller is designed to meet extreme requirements for logic sequence and data transfer without compromising software scaling costs, as all NX Series motion speed and accuracy. The NX series machine controllers decrease hardware as controllers share the same I/O connections and all can be programmed on Sysmac Studio software.

NX I/O Sensor

Sysmac NX102 Controller

Companies seeking to reduce costs, shorten programming and implementation time will find the NX102 controller gives them a head start in automation. This controller has been designed to jump into automation and handle complete machine control. The NX102 achieves this with connectivity to globally open industrial protocols such as: EtherNET I/P, EtherCAT, IO Link, and CIIP Safety. The NX102 machine controller decreases hardware and software scaling costs, as all NX Series controllers share the same I/O connections and can be programmed on Sysmac Studio software. Allowing for easing scaling to line control with the NX502.

NX I/O Sensor

Sysmac NX502 Controller

Companies seeking to reduce costs, shorten programming and implementation time while minimizing the risk of cyberattacks will find a powerful solution in the new NX502. This controller has been designed to centralize and simplify line control. The NX502 achieves this with up to 254 CIP Safety connections, up to 62 axes of motion, 256 EtherCAT® nodes, 80 MB of program memory, 1 Gbps EtherNet/IP ports, as well as OPC UA and SQL as standard.

The NX502 machine controller decreases hardware and software scaling costs, as all NX Series controllers share the same I/O connections and can be programmed on Sysmac Studio software. Since safety programs can be proven in a single Sysmac Studio environment, programming time is reduced as well. Implementation time is also kept to a minimum given that CIP Safety allows the NX502 to be used where CIP Safety-compatible robots are already in use.

The NX502 can accommodate up to 4 EIP Cards on the left side of the CPU unit, which reduces a facility’s total line control cost by increasing the amount of total machines that can run on the same CPU. This is because each EIP card creates a subnet, segmenting the machine-level network from the database network and from the plant-level network. Each card further expands the EIP and CIP safety connections for the NX502 CPU.

With the ever-present need for increased performance, the NA family of HMI terminals makes it fast and easy to implement dynamic intuitive user interfaces that will boost productivity and minimize downtime.
