Sysmac Studio

The Team Edition implementation of Sysmac Studio incorporates a distributed version control system within the platform’s rich interface. It allows multiple co-developers to work on same project, with easy project comparison and efficient handling of machine versions. Omron has chosen Git, which is the most popular open source distributed control system, giving development teams the freedom to choose any Git-based cloud web repository.

The version control system allows engineers to work on a local version of a project with full control over the project source code. Improvements and modifications made to the code on the local version can then be merged with a remote server, so other teams can access the code.

Fully compliant with the open standard IEC 61131-3, Sysmac Studio provides a state-of-the-art programming environment based on the ladder diagram, structured text programming languages and on program organization units which include programs, functions, and function blocks. Additionally, motion control instructions that are based on PLCopen standards and an instruction set that follows IEC rules are included. Providing a familiar programming environment virtually eliminates the learning curve for a new software allowing for quick adoption.

Sysmac Studio places as few restrictions as possible on the design procedures to allow you to start design work from any part of the system. The design concept features easy-to-understand operating procedures with suitable guides that do not interfere with the workflow. This provides user-friendly operation for flexible design work in which even mistakes in settings and procedures can be corrected immediately or left until the project is finalized as long as they will not lead to serious accidents.

“Sysmac Studio 3D Simulation” simplifies operational simulations of manufacturing facilities using OMRON’s flagship automation controller for machines “NJ/NX Series”. By becoming the first in the industry to be able to control and verify robots and other peripheral equipment in a single operation, we innovate the efficiency of facility design and the improvement of facility production capacity.

Virtual Operational simulation can be performed with high accuracy and real-time. System makes equipment digitally visible and enables preliminary verification of movements before machine it is actually started up, thus the time required to confirm the production capacity of the equipment, start-up, and modification is shortened.
