Omron Sysmac Studio

Agent Requirements

Below are the Agent system requirements to configure a Copia Agent for the backup of Omron Sysmac Studio based projects (NJ/NX controllers). You can find the Omron Source Control documentation here: Omron

• You will need a licensed copy of Omron Sysmac Studio that is capable of backing up your controller.

• The Copia Agent must be run as an administrator. Since Omron Sysmac Studio runs with administrator privileges, the Copia Agent will not be able to back up your controllers unless it is similarly elevated

Project Configuration

To configure an Omron Sysmac Studio project, you will need a repository with an existing Omron Sysmac Studio file.

Click either of the Add Project buttons in the Projects tab.

In Copia nomenclature, NJ/NX controllers are referred to as "devices"

The Add a new project configuration dialog will appear which allows you to fully configure the project, controller device(s) and job for the project. This is a multi-step process with each section explained in detail. At any time, you can edit the prior section of this workflow.

The project can be edited after creation. Controller "Devices" and Jobs can also be edited or created directly, using the Devices or Jobs tab. The steps for creation are similar to the steps provided below for those sections.

Define the Project

Any screenshot items with an asterisk are required.

To get started, we will first select the Project Type from the list provided, and then select an Agent. If you have not already created an Agent, you can create and assign an Agent at a later time. See more about this in the Agents section of the documentation.

When complete, press Save and Continue.

You will now select the Project Path, which is the location (Repository and Branch) that the project is, or will be stored.

You can edit the previous steps at any time.

First, select a repository. You may use the search bar to navigate your organizations repositories.

Second, you'll need to select a branch.

And lastly for Project Path you'll need to select the file you want to back up.

You may need to navigate down through folders depending on how you've set up your repository.

The file that you select must include controller communication settings. Copia makes use of saved settings to back up from individual controllers.

Project Details

Add a relevant name and description for your project.

Define the Controller Device(s)

The controller "Device Setup" section is for defining the information Copia needs to communicate with a controller (Name, authetntication, etc.). If you have pre-created devices before entering the Add Project portal, you can select Add Existing Devices. Otherwise you can Add a Device as seen.

For Omron Sysmac Studio backups, you may add as many controller devices as are in your project, where each name matches the device name in the Multiview Explorer.

If your controller is password protected, you MUST include the username and password or the agent will not be able to back up the controller. If there is no username/password combination, leave this section blank.

Each controller "Device Name" MUST match the name found in the Multiview Explorer.

Press Save Device when complete.

Define the Job(s)

Creating Jobs is similar for all vendor types, and is described in the Creating Jobs section. It is recommended to review that section while completing a job configuration, and press Save to save the job.

Submit the Configuration

Once complete, press Submit Project Setup to create the Project, Device(s) and Job(s).

Don't forget to enable/disable the Watch button, based on your preferences for project Notifications.
