The NX1 can reduce cycle times through high-speed, high-precision control and increase machine availability in conjunction with distinctive sensors and automation devices, continuously improving productivity while optimizing information utilization, safety measures, and quality control.

Application case study 2: Reduce downtime of processing machine through predictive management

IO-Link sensors can be used for predictive management of existing machines where periodic inspections are necessary or unscheduled downtime occurs.

Inspections based on intuition and experience can be visualized, and invisible signs (e.g., ram thinning and thickening, lack of lubrication, biting, and cycle delay) can be detected. Data collection allows users to check the relevance of processing quality.

Sysmac Studio works for productivity throughout lifecycle

Version control function improved by Git

Sysmac Studio is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to be your automation companion for your machine’s or system’s entire lifecycle from design to verification and maintenance.

The intuitive user interface, PLCopen programming, and the Project Version Control function^* keep team working smoothly.

The Project Version Control function^* combined with the version control system Git^™ significantly reduces time and effort require to change the master and merge changes in the multi-user environment.

For example, when code developed by multiple users is merged, the functions to merge changes automatically and resolve conflicting changes make merging easier and faster. The users can even revert to the previous revision after graphically comparing the current project with a previous one.

Since common programs between different machines can be centrally managed, machine variations and customizations can be handled efficiently.

* This function can be used by applying the Team Development Option to Sysmac Studio version 1.20 or higher. This function is supported by the NX1 CPU Unit version 1.16 or later.
