Omron Canada, one of the world's leading factory automation system manufacturers announces the new, NSJ - Visual Hybrid Controller (VHC). This hybrid product combines: Visualization; Control Systems; Open-Field Networks; InnerBus Technology; IT Networks; and Self-Diagnostics on a single, integrated, compact device.
Companies looking for a competitive advantage and implement a Visual Hybrid Controller on the factory floor will improve profitability and dramatically reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of a machine's life cycle. Unprecedented benefits include: reduction in hardware costs; fewer number of devices to install, commission and maintain; faster installation time; improved diagnostics; smaller panel size; reduced design time; improved product time to market; and lower operational costs.
The NSJ series surpass current factory automation technology without compromising speed or performance, reliability, security, quality, maintainability, expandability or ease of use. Fifteen VHCs are offered with graphic, touchscreens - display sizes range from 5.7 inches to 12.1 inches in STN or TFT. Twenty-eight replacement assemblies are available to provide quick and easy user replacement of damaged screens or controller units.
All NSJ units come standard with InnerBus technology- just power up the unit out of the box. This field-proven communications architecture provides very fast data transfer rates between all internal CPUs with enriched information compared to other communication protocols. No need to purchase, install and set-up Ethernet network between the HMI and controller to achieve the performance you expect.
In addition all VHCs come standard with NSJ Troubleshooter self-diagnostic system. Whenever there is a fault within the controller or DeviceNet field network, the NSJ Troubleshooter immediately finds the problem and displays the information without the need for any manuals or programming by the user.
On the 8.4, 10.4 and 12.1 inch screen sizes, the control program can be shown on the display to quickly find a fault within the machine, without the need of a PC, programming software or cables.
