In order to address the chronic shortage of engineers or utilize information technology at manufacturing sites, modern network technology is being rapidly adopted. However, since conventional methods cannot be used, some problems, such as increase in MTTR and commissioning time, are arising on production floors. As a solution to these problems, Omron analyzed unnecessary and inefficient work in production processes, and developed NXR Series that comes equipped with various functions to save time.

No control panel required

Reduced wiring system

Adding the IO-Link I/O hub simplifies wiring while providing the capability of data utilization.

Just select devices to update all parameters at the same time. Simple configuration prevents human errors.

Configuring all devices at once from the controller eliminates the need to configure each device individually, greatly cutting down setup time.

Ethernet and IO-Link communication status monitoring allows to find network cabling errors, making possible to easily identify issues during commissioning and to implement predictive maintenance during operation.

I/O cable and communication cable diagnostics

The remote terminal reports approximate locations of disconnections or short circuits in Ethernet cables, and detects disconnections or short circuits in I/O cables.

Replacement without software

The IP address can be set using the hardware switch, without using special software.
