So what are Smart Active Parts?
Smart Active Parts are pre-programmed, pre-tested
visualization objects with embedded communica-
tion code, bringing ‘drag and drop’ simplicity
to HMI design.
Written and tested by Omron’s control experts,
these visualization objects are called Smart and
Active because they automate the communication
with the Omron Smart Field Devices. Unlike conven-
tional visualization objects, Smart Active Parts
automatically communicate, when needed across
multiple networks, with their corresponding devices.
They can be used to configure, commission, operate
and maintain these devices, without a single line
of code needing to be written in the PLC or the HMI.
Dramatically reducing development and
debugging time!
So what about the Smart Field Devices
Omron offers a vast range of Smart Field Devices
(e.g. Temperature Controllers, Inverters, Sensors).
There are over 1000 Smart Active Parts available,
multiple per device to configure, commission,
operate or maintain them.
These devices are called Smart, because they are
self-maintaining. The Smart Field Devices are
constantly monitoring key parameters and when
needed reporting this, by the built-in communica-
tion, to the HMI. This happens without the need
for the HMI or PLC to be in charge of checking each
device. This reduces both the load on the network
and the control burden on the PLC and HMI, so
improving the overall speed and response of the
control architecture of the machine.
