Omron Trajexia motion control system

Trajexia is Omron’s motion platform that provides the performance and the ease of use of a dedicated motion system. It is a stand-alone modular system that allows maximum flexibility and scalability. At the heart of system lies the TJ1 multitasking motion coordinator. Powered by a 32-bit DSP, it can perform motion tasks such as e-cam, e-gearbox, registration control and interpolation, all via simple motion commands.

The system can control up to 16 axes over a Mechatrolink-II motion bus or traditional analog or pulse control with independent position, speed or torque control for every axis. Its powerful motion instruction set makes programming intuitive and easy.

Users can select from a wide choice of rotary, linear and direct-driver servos as well as inverters. The system is scalable up to 16 axes and eight inverters and I/O modules.

Trajexia’s ethernet built-in port provides direct and fast connectivity to PCs, PLCs, HMIs and other devices while providing full access to the drivers over a Mechatrolink-II motion bus. It allows explicit messaging over ethernet and through Mechatrolink-II to provide full transparency down to the actuator level, and making remote access possible.

The system’s encryption method provides protection and confidentiality.

A serial port provides direct connectivity with any Omron PLC, HMI or any other field device. 16 inputs and eight outputs are freely configurable embedded I/Os in the controller to enable users to tailor it to a machine design.

Mechatrolink-II offers the communication speed and time accuracy essential to provide motion control of servo drivers. The motion cycle time is selectable between 0.5, 1 or 2 ms.

The TJ1-FL02 is an analog control unit. It controls up to two axes in these modes: analog speed reference plus encoder feedback; encoder input, pulse or absolute; and pulse output.

Users can connect any Servo Driver to the TJ1-FL02.

The I/Os on the Mechatrolink-II motion bus provide for system expansion while keeping the devices under one motion bus. The TJ1-PRT is an interface between the Trajexia system and a Profibus network as well as a DeviceNet network.
