Sysmac Industrial IDE

A truly integrated development environment for machine automation, combining configuration,
programming, simulation, and monitoring in a simple interface.
Where do I get Started with Sysmac?

Chase Myles of Omron has a great up and running series on YouTube.

How can the Programmable Controller "SYSMAC" be connected to a personal computer through a serial port or an Ethernet? Is the FinesGateway necessary?
In the case of serial interface

There are two ways: using the FinsGateway Ver.3 or not using it.

In the case when an application to be developed with the VisualC++ or the VisualBasic may be used through other interface methods, it is better to utilize the FinsGateway Ver.3.

On the other hand, in the case when the connection is done only through a higher-level link, it is possible to open a COM port directly from the VisualC++ or to issue a higher-level link command disclosed in the manual by using the VisualBasic and the ActiveX Control for commercially available serial access without using the FinsGateway Ver.3.

In the case of Ethernet interface

There are two ways: using the FinsGateway Ver.3 or not using it.
In the case when an application to be developed with the VisualC++ or the VisualBasic may be used through other interface methods, it is better to utilize the FinsGateway Ver.3.

On the other hand, in the case when the connection is done only through an Ethernet interface, it is possible to call up the WinSock2 library directly from the VisualC++ or to issue FINS/UDP/IP commands disclosed in the manual by using the VisualBasic and the ActiveX Control for commercially available WinSock2 without using the FinsGateway Ver.3.

How can we convert SYSMAC Support Software file SP1 by CX-Programmer FA Integrated Tool Package?
After CX-Programmer Ver.2.1

Able to read it directly.

Select the FILE OPEN function on menu, then we can save as SP1 file: SYSMAC support soft ladder program (*SP1).

Before CX-Programmer Ver.2.1

File Conversion Utility convert SP1 file specifying CXT file to read SP1 File.

Then we can save as CXT file. Then we can open CXT file by CX-Programmer.

Automotive Case Study

Omron’s Sysmac integrated automation platform is a tool to meet these objectives. The Sysmac platform includes powerful machine automation controllers (MACs), intuitive human machine interfaces (HMIs), and fast networking via EtherCAT or Ethernet/IP. These complementary technologies support a range of advanced functions, including motion, safety, vision and robotics.
