Omron Corporation announced in August that it would release the world’s first new NX series safety network controller that supports two safety protocols: CIP Safety adopted by industrial robot manufacturers, and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE), which provides high-speed response. .
In automated factories that produce various products, the NX series of safety network controllers can use industrial robots to easily create and rebuild the safety system of the production line, and control the safety system at high speed to help manufacturers build a manufacturing site that can ensure worker safety and productivity.
When dangers such as people approaching robots occur, the safety system can safely stop production lines and facilities to protect people from danger.
Now, for example, automobile and food manufacturers need to flexibly change the layout of their production lines to produce products with low yields, high mixing ratios and short life cycles. However, when using traditional safety controllers, even if only a part of the production line is replaced, the safety system of the entire production line must be checked. In addition, as robots are increasingly adopted and manufactured in locations all over the world, precisely because of the lack of experienced security administrators, there is an increasing demand for advanced security systems that are easy to install and maintain.
In order to meet these needs, Omron has developed the NX series of safety network controllers. The controller can use industrial robots to easily establish a safety system for large-scale production lines and production equipment that require high-speed control, and provide modular safety control, so that there is no need to stop the entire production line when changing or maintaining the layout. Automatic programming for safety systems, as well as offline simulation and online functional testing for checking safety programs, reduce the time required from design to safety verification. In addition, safety data logging allows even inexperienced workers to identify the cause of a sudden interruption of the production line, thereby maximizing productivity.
Omron Industrial Automation's intelligent manufacturing concept "i-Automation!", from three levels, intelligent (intelligent), integrated (control upgrade), interacTIve (human and mechanical new coordination), tells the true meaning and essence of production site innovation. Omron is committed to bringing innovation to the manufacturing site by realizing this concept. By adopting the NX series of safety network controllers, Omron continues to pursue a significant increase in productivity and safety for the global manufacturing industry, and accelerates the realization of "i-AutomaTIon!" together with its customer companies.
Features
1. Two different networks in one security system meet customer needs
The NX series safety network controller connected to the NX102 machine automation controller can use EtherNet/IP+CIP Safety and EtherCAT+FSoE at the same time.
CIP Safety robot safety systems can be easily created from various suppliers.
The NX-SL5700 safety CPU unit can provide up to 254 CIP Safety connections to build a safety system for large-scale production lines.
The NX series safety network controller plus the NX102 machine automation controller can provide real-time safety control of up to 12 motors through EtherCAT and FSoE.
2. Integrated development environment Sysmac Studio for fast and safe programming
Automatic programming shortens the safety control programming time.
Offline simulation can verify the program without connecting hardware.
The online function test can provide instructions from the safety system check on the screen to report the output when setting up the production line, and even allow users without professional knowledge to test the safety system.
3. Easy maintenance and fast troubleshooting
The safety data log record helps to quickly identify the reason for the stoppage of the production line.
Safety unit recovery allows easy hardware replacement without the use of software.
The SD card containing the logging settings is used for secure data logging. When the start trigger conditions are met, the specified device variables and known variables can be recorded in chronological order and output to the memory card. This function helps to quickly identify the cause of a sudden system stop and determine preventive measures.
The NX series safety network controller includes the following units:
NX-SL5500/5700 Safety CPU Unit
NX-CSG320 communication control unit
NX102-Machine Automation Controller
Splitter: To divide the input signal equally among the different sets; At the same time, these televisions are isolated from each other. Usually there are :2 distribution (divided in two), 3 distribution, etc. Cable TV also has a distributor, which is different from a distributor. The branching device transfers some of the energy to the next stage. Branch devices are often used in cable television networks
