Three benefits from NC Integrated Controller

‍

[Minimize machine cycle time] NC and PLC functionality fully synchronized at high speed

Efficient control of processing and other processes is crucial to performance and productivity of a multi-purpose machine which handles multiple processes.
The NC integrated controller provides both NC and PLC functionality and synchronize all devices at high speed, significantly reducing the machine cycle time.

‍

Improved synchronization

‍

Control cycle as you designed

Programs for both PLC and NC are executed in the same task period, which enables processes to be synchronized with the cycle as you designed

‍

High-speed synchronization reduces interlock time

Interlock time between NC (processing) and PLC (other processes) will be reduced to 1/4 as compared to when separate controllers are used. Cycle time of a multi-purpose machine that generates many interlocks can be reduced.

[Simplify complex profiling] Versatile NC functions

G-Code reduces time required to design and program complex profiling.

‍

Conventional controller

Processing programs are designed based on CAD data. Programming using PLC instructions and debugging are required for each figure

‍

NC Integrated Controller

CAD/CAM software makes design easy

‍

Parameter setting

(1) Parameters are set using CAD/CAM software

‍

Automatic generation

(2) NC program in G-Code is generated

‍

Transferred

(3) Program is transferred to NC integrated controller

[Optimize engineering time] One software for NC setting and PLC programming

The Sysmac Studio provides a true Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for configuration, programming, monitoring, and 3D simulations. Programming based on IEC standard and PLCopen® Function Blocks (FBs) for motion control cuts programming time. FBs for NC control make program structure simple, even for synchronization between NC process and others.
