NXR-ILM08C-ECT

Since conventional commissioning and maintenance methods via field networks are insufficient for modern manufacturing sites, some problems, such as increase in MTTR and commissioning time, are arising.
As a solution to these problems, OMRON analyzed unnecessary and inefficient work in production processes, and developed NXR Series that comes equipped with various functions to save time and ensure uninterrupted operation.

Adding the IO-Link I/O hub simplifies wiring while providing the capability of data utilization.

On-site operators can make port settings for the IO-Link master unit simply by setting the rotary switches to a pre-set pattern, reducing setup time and software designers’ workload.

Automatic setting of IO-Link parameters on the configuration tool and transfer of remote terminal and IO-Link device settings from the controller significantly reduce setup time by 90%*1.
*1. Compared with OMRON’s NX Series in May 2020.

Configuration settings of connected actual IO-Link devices can be verified and obtained in Sysmac Studio.
In addition, the process data structure and device variables of the set devices can be generated automatically, reducing programming time. This can save you configuration time while preventing human errors.

Quantified Ethernet and IO-Link communication statuses allow you to find network cabling errors before operation. During operation, the communication statuses can be monitored, making it possible to check the system before it suddenly stops.

*1. The NJ/NX CPU Units and NY Industrial PCs support EtherCAT.

The remote terminal reports approximate locations of disconnections or short circuits in Ethernet cables, and detects disconnections or short circuits in I/O cables.

*2. The NXR-ILM08C-EIT IO-Link Master Unit for EtherNet/IP can report approximate locations of problems in Ethernet cables.
*3. The setting range of I/O port quick setting is the device parameter of NXR-ILM08C-ECT. When replacing an IO-link device with settings other than the default, set the IO-Link device parameters using CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
*4. Calculated under our specified conditions in November 2023.
