Omron Industrial Automation has expanded the Sysmac line of machine automation controllers with the release of the new NJ3 series. The new controllers consist of two CPUs, 4 and 8 axes, therefore offering full compatibility and scalability from four to 64 axes.
The NJ3 is fully compatible with the NJ5 machine automation controllers, using the same programming and configuration tool, Sysmac Studio, and the same built-in networks – EtherCAT for machine control and EtherNet/IP for factory automation. Like the NJ5, the NJ3 series uses the latest embedded processors from Intel, taking full advantage of the Sysmac automation platform architecture.
This expansion of the Sysmac family is part of Omron’s ongoing commitment to meet advanced machine automation needs by offering a consistent solution from a low number of axes right up to the largest machines. In addition, it also addresses the need for modular machine construction.
