New NA machine interface series from Omron UK for 2014
Adding to Omron UK‘s comprehensive range of HMIs comes the new Sysmac NA machine interface series. According to Omron, this development is based on analysing feedback from customers worldwide. The new NA Series is faster and make it easy to implement dynamic, intuitive user interfaces that help boost productivity and minimise downtime by giving detailed real-time and historical insights into machine operation.
The new NA machine interface is programmed using Omron’s Sysmac Studio development system, which covers all areas of automation, including logic, motion, vision and safety. This allows the NA machine interface to be programmed alongside the other automation systems, which speeds development and reduces programming complexity.
To further aid program development, the NA machine interface is provided with Intelligent Application Gadgets (IAGs) for common applications, which operate in a similar way to function blocks. Users have access to a standard IAG libraries and can also even develop additional IAGs to meet their own needs. Full customisation of the way the machine interface operates is possible using VB.net.
Handles multi-media objects
Powerful multimedia facilities are incorporated, which make it possible to combine a wide range of media types including, for example, PDF files, video and data, to produce machine views that are understandable at a glance. It is also possible to incorporate videos showing how to perform particular procedures, and documentation in PDF format, which can never get lost and which can be accessed instantly whenever it is needed.
Model Range
The NA Series machine interfaces are available with wide-format 7″, 9″, 12″ and 15″ high resolution screens (1280 × 800 pixel for 12” and 15”, 800 × 480 pixel for 7” and 9”). Bezels are available in black or silver. The screens use resistive touch technology, to provide reliable operation when users are wearing gloves and in addition, three programmable function buttons are provided. Connectivity is achieved via two Ethernet ports, two USB ports and a serial connection.
