Omron NX502 User guide

Brand: Omron

Model: NX502

Type: User guide

Omron’s NX502 machine controller has been designed to give

manufacturing facilities robust safety, accurate motion, and transparent

control by harnessing Sysmac’s One Controller, One Connection, and

One Software automation architecture.

By seamlessly combining the strengths of CIP Safety protocol,

EtherCAT® motion, and EtherNET I/P connectivity, Omron’s NX502

allows facilities to use networks as they were designed to achieve

eciency without added cost common with system complexity. To

achieve this the NX502 boasts key features which:

• Decreases the installation cost and delayed refresh rates associated

with managed switches for motion control with up to 256 nodes

and 64 axis of motion control on the deterministic, globally open

industrial protocol, and most globally used motion control industrial

network EtherCAT®.

• Decreases the installation cost of additional safety controller

with integration the Omron safety CPU, allowing the NX502 to

accommodate up to 254 CIP Safety Connections.

• Decreases programming time and complexity with 80 MB of

program memory which allows function blocks to replicate robust

code into various other rungs of programs for maximum scalability

while decreasing the risk of stolen intellectual property and easy

version control by locking function blocks.

• Decreases the maintenance cost of moving data with OPC UA and

SQL as standard on select NX502 models no computer is needed on

the plant oor to broker the data. Installation would not require IT

and OPC UA is inherently secure and can be updated in the future

to maintain security.

Primary Benets

• One Software:

Sysmac Studio, Omron’s integrated programming

environment, completely simulates machine

capabilities (logic, motion, robotics, vision,

visualization) while compiling with industry-

standard programming language. Not only does this

combination help new users learn programming in

a robust language, but it also allows them to prove

program strength before integrating it into processes

• One Controller:

The NX product line completely controls the machine

architecture. Performance and quality are never

compromised with Omron controllers as there is

no replacement for CPU displacement. Innovative

patented connector security, multiple core processors

across model ranges, with security built in gives

Omron controllers the ability to drive performance

into every node in your architecture.

• One Network:

Omron’s stance on industrial networks is

uncompromising, use industrial protocols as they

were designed to achieve the highest quality

result. The NX product embodies this through the

harmonious control of EtherCAT®, EtherNET I/P, IO

Link, FSOE, and CIP Safety. Connecting the OT network

to the IT network, Omron CPU’s can achieve more

because they eciently use industrial protocols.
