Advanced control for Compact Machines: NX1 Machine Controller

The NX1 is the Sysmac^*1 entry level controller which integrates EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT connectivity, motion control, and I/O in a compact package, bringing advanced motion and sequence control to small-middle size machines.

Electronic cam and interpolation increase machine speed and precision, which leads to improvement in productivity and quality. Data collected from devices via the built-in EtherCAT port and mounted IO-Link master unit can be shared between machines via the built-in EtherNet/IP port. This helps reduce machine downtime and increase productivity by enabling predictive maintenance and full integration.

Characteristics:

- LD instruction execution time: 3.3 ns, program capacity: 1.5 MB

- Built-in EtherNet/IP port, EtherCAT port, and SD memory card interface

- Up to 8 axes (including up to 4 axes of motion control)

- 24 or 40 I/O Push-In Plus terminals on CPU for quick wiring

- Use of NX I/O units expandability on CPU and distributed using EtherCAT

- IEC 61131-3 standard programming and PLCopen® Function Blocks for motion control
