NX5 – Information, Control and Safety
The NX5 modular controller integrates control, information and safety, providing a new level of speed to manufacturing sites. Speed up all processes from commissioning to operation and maintenance.
– Direct connection to a database as standard feature, with no special unit, software, or middleware required. Support for stored procedure calls and secure communications functionality.
– OPC UA server built-in as standard feature, variable structures are supported
– Cloud direct connection: MQTT(S) communications are supported using MQTT Communication Library
– Large memory for data handling. 260 MB for variables
– Built-in network connectivity, 2x Ethernet (1 Gbps) ports + 1 EtherCAT.
– Used in conjunction with NX-SL5 Safety Control Unit to build a large-scale safety system (CIP Safety: Up to 254 connections)
– Up to four NX-EIP201 network units. It can expand the number of Ethernet ports up to 10 in total.
– Fastest cycle time: 250 µs
– Synchronized motion core. Number of axes: 64, 32, 16, 128 and 256
– Battery-less controller
– One unique and synchronized cycle for local & remote I/O, EtherCAT devices and motion control
– Up to 63 local NX units, including Safety and IO-Link master
– Multi-tasking controller
– EtherCAT Ring topology is supported to maintain communications and control in case of a broken cable or device failure
