Omron Industrial Automation Sysmac Machine Control & Automation Solution
Omron Industrial Automation Sysmac Machine Control and Factory Automation Solution is an integrated automation platform that provides complete control and management of automation processes. The solution provides synchronous control of all machine devices and advanced functionality, including motion, robotics, and database connectivity. This multidisciplinary concept simplifies solution architecture, reduces programming, and optimizes productivity. The Sysmac Studio Software from Omron provides a true integrated development environment (IDE) that also includes a custom 3D motion simulation tool. The machine controller comes standard with built-in EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP. The two networks provide the perfect match between fast real-time machine control and data plant management.
Features
- One control for entire machine or process
- Open communication and programming standards
- Joins EtherNet/IP for factory automation network with Ethernet-based machine control network, EtherCAT
- Synchronous control for machine performance and time-series data collection for IIoT applications
- True IDE simplifies all disciplines of automation in one place (motion, sequencing, safety, networking, vision inspection, and IIoT)
- Motion
- Motion control is integrated within IDE and operates in real-time
- Standard PLCopen Function Blocks plus Omron-generated motion FBs
- Direct synchronous control for position, speed, and torque
- Safety
