As machine builders are challenged to build more complex systems to accommodate their customers’ requirements for flexible manufacturing, Omron is able to offer products and support that can be integrated under one network: EtherNet/IP.

Bringing together remote I/O, Inverters, temperature control, programmable safety, and HMIs, back to our CJ2 family of controllers, will centralise the power of remote intelligent devices, without the need of multiple network protocols.
With EtherNet/IP, the use of implicit messaging shares information across the network, without the need of complex communication function blocks within the controller.
This feature reduces the hidden time cost that a machine builder takes to programme, troubleshoot and commission traditional systems with multiple networks.
Benefits:
- Reduction in Wiring and engineering time up to 30%
- Simplified machine architecture
- Reuse your safety configuration, programs and validations
- Enhanced machine productivity and maintenance efficiency
