Omron’s new CP2E Series all-in-one controller integrates I/O ports, communication, and axis control needed for machine control, providing advanced control and internet of things (IoT) connectivity for compact machines. The performance of connected machines can be visualised through simple programming, helping improve productivity and quality in manufacturing as well as other industries. Companies using compact machines also need to utilise production data, visualise machine performance, and prevent sudden failure and stoppage. The CP2E Series offers a cost-effective way to add IoT to compact machines. It collects machine performance data and shares the necessary information with the host network. The pre-defined program data, in the form of a function block, reduces program development work and improves quality through standardisation. This allows virtually anyone to set up machines that perform complex control, reducing the time required for programming, test, debugging, and maintenance. Moreover, the extended operating temperature range ensures reliable use in machines for non-manufacturing industries where the demand for use of controllers is increasing.
