NX controllers
Program investigation, I/O diagnostics and support with machine sequences. Understand task behaviour, interlocks and connected devices before changing the logic.
Sysmac StudioPlatform experience / Omron
Omron controls.
Practical support.
PLC logic, servo motion and connected drives. Practical support with Sysmac-based machine control, NX hardware, 1S servo systems and M1 inverters.
The hardware behind the support
Familiar platforms.
Real equipment.
NX1P2 shown as an example of the NX machine automation range.
Servo hardware integrated with the machine’s motion and control system.
Inverter variants with different communications options. The installed model matters.
01 / Controllers & interfaces
Understand the program.
Trace the signals.
Work through the machine logic, distributed I/O and connected devices in the Sysmac project. Link what the software reports to what is happening on the equipment.
NX I/O & connected devices
Investigate signal paths, device status and the connection between field hardware and controller data. Identify the affected channel or device within the machine.
Sysmac Studio / installed network configuration02 / On the machine
Logic, motion
and motor control.
Investigate the controller and drive as a connected system: commands, status, feedback and the field equipment around them.
Machine support
1S servo systems
Axis faults, enable conditions, homing, position and torque behaviour. Investigate motion commands alongside drive and feedback status.
Machine support
M1 / 3G3M1 inverters
Parameter setup, motor control, drive alarms and PLC command/status exchange. Communications depend on the inverter variant.
Machine support
EtherCAT & EtherNet/IP
Investigate device connections and data exchange in the installed network, including the link between PLC, I/O and motion hardware.
03 / Engineering software
The right tools
for the installed system.
Start with the equipment, the original project and the engineering version. Keep changes grounded in how the existing machine is configured.
Sysmac Studio
Program monitoring, machine logic, controller configuration and integrated motion engineering for compatible NX systems.
Motion & data trace
Use online signals and traces to investigate axis behaviour, feedback and the conditions around an intermittent fault.
Drive configuration
Parameter and communications checks for 1S servo drives and M1 inverters. Select the engineering method for the installed drive variant.
Projects & backups
Review the available project, controller version and device configuration before modifications or replacement setup.
Include the equipment model, software version and available project files when you enquire.
04 / Practical support
From the first alarm
to the next step.
A clear understanding of the problem and practical options for your equipment.
Fault finding & diagnostics
Trace missing signals, sequence stops and equipment alarms. Connect software findings to the electrical and mechanical behaviour of the machine.
Industrial communications
Check addressing, device status and the data path between controllers, I/O, HMIs and connected equipment.
Operator information
Investigate alarms and displayed status. Improve the information available to operators and maintenance teams.
Backups & replacement support
Review available projects and configurations, support replacement setup and document agreed changes.
Commissioning & modifications
Support with I/O checks, machine sequences and agreed changes to existing controls.
Existing systems & upgrades
Assess installed equipment and dependencies, then work through practical options for repair, replacement or improvement.
