This brings advanced motion and sequence control to small- to medium-size machines.

 

Electronic cam and interpolation increase machine speed and precision, which boosts productivity and quality. Data collected from devices via the built-in EtherCAT® port and mounted IO-Link master unit can, in turn, be shared between machines via the built-in EtherNet/IP port. This reduces machine downtime and increases 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 unit expandability on CPU, distributed using EtherCAT®

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