■ Automatic programming based on truth tables with input, output, and stop conditions of safety devices ■ User-defined function block (FB) to support help files to describe input and output conditions and program functionality; can have different security levels to protect them from unauthorized changes ■ Offline simulation performed on a separate computer without connecting actual hardware ■ Online functional testing of integrated safety functions; test results can be output as a report Sysmac Studio software also supports ongoing operations and maintenance. Downtime is minimized using an SD memory card containing logging settings and safety data logging. This data enables network technicians to efficiently determine the cause of an unexpected system stoppage and take appropriate preventative and corrective measures. The safety unit restores an automatic configuration restart to reduce maintenance: ■ Restore programs and settings are stored on an SD card in the safety unit. When a safety controller unit is replaced, the stored programs and settings can be quickly copied to the new unit.
■ When a safety I/O unit is replaced, automatic configuration restart
automatically downloads the setting data into the new unit.
Conclusion Sysmac automation devices and software from Omron support the complete connectivity needs for Industry 4.0 factory automation networks. Their capabilities extend from IO- Link for connecting to sensors and EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP for linking with motion, safety, vision, and other controllers. They include support for FSoE and CIP Safety protocols. Powerful controllers and software that use OPC UA, SQL, and MQTT are available to link the factory network to the company’s IT and OT systems as well as the cloud.
