Omron Automation, a leading Indian supplier of automated, machined solutions, has released the novel CP2E series all-in-one controller for advanced control to enable IIoT connectivity for compact machines. The controller visualized the data and performance of connected machines by simple programs to enhance the productivity and quality of manufacturing.
Manufacturers are inspired to streamline all the processes from machine setup to maintenance. Using limited budgets and compact machines, production data must be well used to prevent unexpected shutdowns and visualize machine performance. It is tough to fulfill this because an expensive controller is essential to build an IIoT ready system.
The CP2E can enable economically IIoT connectivity for compact machines. This controller gathers machine performance data and shares the pertinent data with enterprise networks. Machines can be set up to do complex control virtually through the predefined program data and function blocks. The impact is the considerable decrease in the time needed for maintenance, debugging, testing, and programming.
Moreover, the CP2E has a long operating temperature range due to which it is dependable for machines in agriculture and infrastructure and other non-manufacturing industries, which have a rising demand for controllers. Such industries generally use non-standard controllers, where customers have to use their own expertise for management and maintenance. The crux is that IIoT and environmental resistance are crucial. The CP2E offers a more user-friendly option for consumers.
The CP2E is a very dependable ‘install and forget’ solution for harsh environments. Its battery-free function decreases maintenance expenses. In special applications, reliability is enhanced due to a wide gamut of operational temperature. This controller has input/output terminal LED indicators to confirm easy, quick root cause identification. The ability of the controllers to automatically detect and recover from some corruption avoids CPU stops and enhances machine efficiency. Stable temperature control is achieved by an autotuning function block through a PID control. 4-axis positioning function with linear interpolation can be achieved easily through function blocks. The controller has two Ethernet ports with HMI connectivity and the Ethernet switching function host.
