The new NJ1 and NX7 machine controllers expand the Sysmac range of controllers at both the lower and upper end of the series. The Sysmac controllers are the heart of the Sysmac automation platform. With the release of the NJ1 and NX7, Omron is broadening the range of automation solutions, from innovative, advanced production systems to simpler machines.
The NX7 is Sysmac's flagship that offers speed without compromising reliability and ease of use. It offers the fastest processing speed in the market thanks to the Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core processor and a large memory capacity. They have developed this advanced controller, focused on the future of advanced production sites using IoT (Internet of Things).
The basic machine controller NJ1
At the lower end of the machine controller range, the offering is now completed with the NJ1. It is the most basic machine automation controller with up to 2 axes and fully compatible with the NJ5/NJ3 controllers. With the NJ1, the existing Sysmac architecture can be applied cost-effectively in smaller installations. Sharing a common concept, dimensions, general specifications and functions enables code reuse or machine sharing in installations with a small number of axes. With an architecture that can quickly integrate the latest information and communication technology, Sysmac offers a highly innovative development environment for the machine builder, and innovative machines for the end user.
Answer to a global trend
Today’s manufacturing companies are under pressure to respond quickly to changing consumer needs. This pressure forces companies to innovate their manufacturing sites by leveraging IoT, Big Data and other ICT developments. In anticipation of these changing needs, Omron is committed to continuing to develop the Sysmac platform to continue to improve offerings, service and technical support for users.
Sysmac automation platform
Since the release of the NJ5 in 2011, they have offered modules that include database connectivity and robotics. The range of peripherals such as high-speed I/O units, servos and frequency controllers, safety components and vision sensors has also been expanded. The introduction of the new machine automation controllers enables users to implement Sysmac even more easily in production locations. By leveraging Sysmac's Sensing and Control technology, the know-how that has been built up, and the collaboration with third parties, they will continue to create innovative solutions.
