The Omron UK MX2 and RX inverter drive series have a powerful built-in logic programming functionality. The user can easily build stand-alone applications without any external controller, thereby saving cost and panel space.

The Programming tool is a function of the intuitive CX-Drive, which is also used for drive configuring and commissioning. An application can be created in either flow chart or text editor formats. Programs can be made with up to 1000 lines of code and with 5 tasks running in parallel.

Free programming

– Intuitive and user friendly flow chart programming

– Alternative Structured Text format

– Integrated in CX-Drive

– Up to 1000 lines in a program

– 5 tasks can run in parallel

Typical stand-alone applications: Automatic doors, lifting tables, platform lifts, multiple pumps, index tables and grinding machines.

Flexible machine design

An inverter running a drive programming application can be a modular aspect of a total machine design, used only when needed and thereby simplifying the design and commissioning stages. For example it be an independent conveyor between feeder and packaging operation.

MX2/RX built-in applications

As well as providing a completely open programming environment for the user, there exists within the Omron inverter series in-built solutions…..

Speed synchronisation

Master and slave position-locking applications can be solved without using special firmware or the need for an external motion controller.

Brake control

This function allows the inverter to control an external brake with no need for special firmware or special products.

Positioning

The MX2 and RX are able to solve simple positioning tasks without external controllers. Up to 8 positions plus home function are supported with no need for an external motion controller.

The Omron application library contains additional information on:

Pump Sequencer dedicated functionality
