Versions

Versions

Hardware revisions and unit versions are used to manage the hardware and software in NY-series Con-

trollers and EtherCAT slaves. The hardware revision or unit version is updated each time there is a

change in hardware or software specifications. Even when two Units or EtherCAT slaves have the

same model number, they will have functional or performance differences if they have different hard-

ware revisions or unit versions.

Checking Versions

You can check versions on the ID information indications or with the Sysmac Studio.

Checking Unit Versions on ID Information Indications

The unit version is given on the ID information indication on the back side of the product.

The ID information on an NY-series NY52- Controller is shown below.

variable memory

A memory area that contains the present values of variables that do not have AT

specifications. It can be accessed only with variables without an AT attribute.

The NY-series Controllers

The Industrial PC Platform NY-series Controllers are next-generation machine automation controllers

that provide the functionality and high-speed performance that are required for machine control.

They provide the safety, reliability, and maintainability that are required of industrial controllers.

The Industrial PC Platform NY-series Controllers provide the functionality of previous OMRON PLCs,

and they also provide the functionality that is required for motion control. Synchronized control of I/O

devices on high-speed EtherCAT can be applied to safety devices, vision systems, motion equipment,

discrete I/O, and more.

OMRON offers the new Sysmac Series of control devices designed with unified communications speci-

fications and user interface specifications. The Industrial PC Platform NY-series Controllers are part of

the Sysmac Series. You can use them together with EtherCAT slaves, other Sysmac products, and the

Sysmac Studio Automation Software to achieve optimum functionality and ease of operation. With a

system that is created from Sysmac products, you can connect components and operate the system

through unified concepts and usability.

Overview of NY-series Controller Operation

This section describes the operation of the Controller and gives an overview of how it operates depend-

ing on the status of the Controller.

2-1-1

Introduction to NY-series Controller

The NY-series Controller executes the user program for sequence control and motion control. It also

performs other processing, such as I/O refreshing and external communications. These processes are

performed by the software in the Controller.

The Controller also contains settings, the user program, variables, and other data. The Controller uses

this data to perform processing. Of this data, variables are used to access the Controller and I/O, and

for external communications.

The internal software and the use of variables for I/O access enable the Controller to execute both

sequence control and motion control.

2 NY-series Controller Operation

2-1-2

Overview of Operation According to NY-series Controller Status

The status of the NY-series Controller changes when an error occurs or when you change the operating

mode. Changes in the status of the NY-series Controller affect user program execution, I/O refreshing,

and the processing of external communications.

The Controller operation according to the status of the Controller is described in 2-6 Operation for Con-

troller Status.

Software

This section describes the software configuration of the NY-series Controller functions, and how the

software components operate.

2-2-1

Software Configuration

The software in the Controller is divided into four modules. These functional units are called function

modules.

The function modules and the processing that they perform are described in the following table.

Function module name

Processing

PLC Function Module

Performs the following services: task scheduling, commands for other func-

tion modules, event logging, execution of the user program, Virtual SD

Memory Card services, and data trace processing.

Motion Control Function Module

Performs motion control processing.^*1

EtherCAT Master Function Mod-

Performs communications with EtherCAT slaves as the EtherCAT master,

ule

including I/O refreshing^*2 for the EtherCAT slaves, EtherCAT message com-

munications*3, etc.

EtherNet/IP Function Module

Performs processing for EtherNet/IP communications, including tag data link

processing, built-in EtherNet/IP port servicing, etc.

*1

This function module executes motion processing based on target values (such as the position or velocity tar-

get value) from the motion control instructions. It outputs command values, controls status, and obtains infor-

mation through the EtherCAT Master Function Module.

*2

I/O refreshing for EtherCAT slaves is performed by using process data communications (also called PDO com-

munications). In PDO communications, the master and slaves exchange data cyclically at regular intervals.

*3

This module communicates with the EtherCAT slaves as the EtherCAT master.
