Automation Software Sysmac Studio

The Sysmac Studio is the software that provides an integrated environment for setting, programming, debugging and maintenance of machine automation controllers including the NJ/NX-series CPU Units, NY-series Industrial PC, EtherCAT Slave, and the HMI.
For details, refer to your local OMRON website and Sysmac Studio Catalog (Cat. No. P138).

Connecting Cable

Peripheral (USB) Port

Use a commercially available USB-certified cable.
Specifications: USB 1.1 or 2.0 cable (A connector - B connector), 5.0 m max.

Recommended EtherNet/IP Communications Cables

For EtherNet/IP, required specification for the communications cables varies depending on the baud rate. For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher. For 1000BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP cable of category 5e or higher with double shielding (aluminum tape and braiding).
