Omron's NJ-Series MAC was created to integrate multiple, specialized controllers — motion, logic, sequence, vision, operator safety, and RFID tracking — with exacting system synchronization to deliver high-performance throughput on a single controller.

Omron Industrial Automation (Schaumburg, IL) has released a new class of controller: Machine Automation Controller (MAC) supported by Sysmac Studio machine automation software. Omron's NJ-Series MAC was created to integrate multiple, specialized controllers — motion, logic, sequence, vision, operator safety, and RFID tracking — with exacting system synchronization to deliver high-performance throughput on a single controller. Features include:

• 1 controller for motion, logic, and vision.
• Sysmac Studio software with a true Integrated Development Environment (IDE) supporting programming, configuration, simulation, and monitoring.
• 1 connection to networks optimized for factory automation information (EtherNet/IP) and real-time machine control for motion, vision, sensors, and actuators (EtherCAT).
• An advanced real-time scheduler to manage motion, network, and the user application updates at the same time to ensure perfect synchronization.
