1 Overview 1-1 Features of Robot Integrated System The robot integrated system is a system to integrate the sequence control and robot control into a Controller, network, and software.

1-1-1 Features of the NJ-series Robot Integrated CPU Unit The sequence control and the robot control can be executed with a CPU Unit. This allows you to de- sign interface easily between the sequence control and robot control and reduce the design time and the adjustment time at startup. 1-1-2 Features of the EtherCAT-compatible OMRON robots The robots and peripheral devices can connect to the same EtherCAT network. The operations for the robots and the peripheral devices can be handled in the same time axis with the synchronization func- tion of the EtherCAT, so wait time for asynchronous operation or variations of timing are reduced.
This enables you to reduce the tact time, identify an error cause during operation, and make predictive con- trol for the operations of peripheral devices. 1-1-3 Features of the Sysmac Studio Automation Software The sequence control and the robot control can be developed with a software. It is easy to perform the advance verification on paper because the system operations to use with the sequence control and robot control can be simulated with the 3D model. 1-2 NJ-series Robot Integrated System Startup Guide (O049)
