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
eciency 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 Benets
• 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 eciently use industrial protocols.
