1-1 Features of Robot Integrated System
The robot integrated system is a system to integrate the sequence control and robot control into a
Controller, network, and software.

The system consists of the NJ-series Robot Integrated CPU Unit, the OMRON robots that support
EtherCAT communications, and the Sysmac Studio Automation Software.

Features of the NJ-series Robot Integrated CPU Unit
The sequence control and the robot control can be executed with a CPU Unit. This allows you to de-
sign interface easily between the sequence control and robot control and reduce the design time and
the adjustment time at startup.

Features of the EtherCAT-compatible OMRON robots
The robots and peripheral devices can connect to the same EtherCAT network. The operations for the
robots and the peripheral devices can be handled in the same time axis with the synchronization func-
tion of the EtherCAT, so wait time for asynchronous operation or variations of timing are reduced. This
enables you to reduce the tact time, identify an error cause during operation, and make predictive con-
trol for the operations of peripheral devices.
1-1-3
Features of the Sysmac Studio Automation Software
The sequence control and the robot control can be developed with a software. It is easy to perform the
advance verification on paper because the system operations to use with the sequence control and
robot control can be simulated with the 3D model.
