NX502 Product Brief 202409

NX502 Machine Controller Scale up machine control to line control with the NX502. OMRON’s machine automation controllers have been designed to give manufacturing facilities robust safety, precise motion, and transparent control by harnessing Sysmac’s One Controller, One Connection, and One Software architecture. By seamlessly combining the strengths of CIP Safety, EtherCAT® motion, and EtherNET/IP™ connectivity, OMRON’s NX502 allows facilities to use networks as they were designed to achieve efficiency without added cost common with line scale complexity. To accomplish this the NX502: Applications:

• Automotive Final Assembly; Material Handling • Semiconductor Wafer Positioning • Semiconductor Wafer Inspection • Electronic Assembly Including: Gluing and Screwing • Packaging Including: Sealing and Temperature Control • Additional Manufacturing Including: Powderbed Fusion, Water Jetting, Plasma Cutting, Material Extrusion, and Etching • 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 an additional safety controller with the integration of an 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 floor 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. Key Features : Plug and Play Compatible with: • OMRON’s complete line of 120+ NX I/O Units • OMRON’s integrated software environment Sysmac Studio • OMRON Vision, OMRON Motion, OMRON Robotics, and OMRON Safety Components Leverage the strength of multiple industrial protocols: • EtherCAT®, IO Link, EtherNET/IP™, CIP Safety, FSOE • OPC UA and SQL as standard while also leveraging Sysmac Studio MQTT function blocks • EtherCAT® 250μs EtherCAT® Refresh Speed • 256 EtherCAT® Nodes • 512 tag sets per EIP Unit • Up to 256 axis of motion control • 80 MB of program capacity

NX502 Machine Controller Primary Benefits • One Software: Sysmac Studio, OMRON’s integrated programming environment, completely simulates machine capabilities (logic, motion, robotics, vision, visualization) while complying with industry-standard programming languages. 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/IP™, IO Link, FSOE, and CIP Safety. Connecting the OT network to the IT network, OMRON CPU’s can achieve more because they efficiently use industrial protocols. Suggested Part Numbers © 2024 OMRON. All Rights Reserved. Note:
