Sysmac Automation Platform

Integrating motion, sequencing, vision and networks in ONE machine controller gives you complete control over the entire machine with high performance and easy operation.

Key Controller Features

• EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT ports embedded
• Standard IEC 61131-3 programming
• Certified PLCopen Function Blocks for Motion Control
• Global standards CE, cULus, NK, LR

Machine Control Features

• Seamless integration of Logic and Motion
• Synchronous control of all machine network devices
• Backwards compatibility with most CJ PLC-series modules

Motion Control Features

EtherCAT is the fastest emerging network for machine automation. It’s fast, accurate and highly efficient for the total machine.

Key EtherCAT features

• Industrial Ethernet using standard IEEE 802.3 frames
• High synchronization accuracy by using a distributed clock mechanism
• The fastest network on the market with 100 μs refresh time and less than 1 μs jitter
• Simple to set up with automatic address assignment for nodes
• Uses standard Ethernet cables and connectors
• Flexible Network Topology
• On-the-Fly data exchange with slave devices for high throughput
• Supports up to 512 slaves
• Control Omron Servos, Inverters, Vision Systems, Robots, Distributed I/O, Safety, Sensors and more
  

One connection via the machine controller allows seamless control and communication with both the machine and the factory.

The Sysmac machine controllers join the world standard factory automation network, EtherNet/IP, with the best Ethernet-based machine control network, EtherCAT.

Key Ethernet/IP Features

• Peer-to-Peer controller communication
• Interface with NA HMI series or SCADA software
• Database connection for MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, IBM DB2 and Firebird
• FTP
• Support MATLAB/Simulink simulation software
  

One software to control and configure the entire machine via a single connection gives you the power and efficiency to develop and create like never before.
