Features

• Ideal for high-speed, high-precision control of large systems with up to 256 axes
• Overwhelming performance that changes the concept of motion control and machine control
• The functions and performance required for machines are becoming more sophisticated in response to the increasing difficulty of manufacturing due to technological innovation and the labor shortage at the manufacturing site. In response, the NX7 further advances the high-speed, high-precision machine control concept that the NJ series of machine automation controllers has led. High-precision motion control with a maximum speed of 125 μs and greatly accelerated instruction execution performance shorten machine tact and improve operating accuracy.
• Basic instruction execution 0.37 ns (fastest in the industry)
• Motion control 125 μs/8 axes (fastest in the industry)
• Intel (R) CoreTMi7 processor (quad-core) for significantly faster instruction execution (Basic instruction execution 0.37 ns, double precision real type arithmetic instruction 3.2 ns).
• Command values can be updated to servomotors and stepping motors in the fastest 125 μs cycle, enabling smooth cam operation and highly accurate interpolation control and phase adjustment between axes.
• Sequence control and motion control can be integrated into a single controller to handle sensor and analog input/output and servo and stepping motor operations on the same task. This enables fast and easy feedback of position, displacement and tension information from the sensor to motion control.
• High precision feedback control with jitter of 1 μs or less
• The NJ/NX controller can operate in a fixed cycle from input to output. By synchronizing the time of the distributed clock built into the Ether CAT slave unit, refresh timing between various units such as the FH series image processing system, the ZW series displacement sensor, the NX series I/O unit, and the G5 series/1S series servo driver is synchronized. High precision feedback control can be achieved by reducing input/output timing deviation to 1 μs or less.
• Easily realize advanced applications
• The Sysmac Library, a collection of software function parts, is a function block that incorporates a wealth of control program know-how. Support for easy realization of diverse and high-performance machine control in a short period of time, such as rotary knives that cut film precisely at marker positions and vibration control during object transport
• High-speed communication and data processing of large data independent of computerization machine control
• A platform that can handle large amounts of data is required at production sites in order to adapt to diversified needs, respond flexibly to fluctuations in demand, improve quality, and achieve zero defects. The NX7 provides both machine control and data processing by providing high memory and high speed Ethernet communications that operate independently of machine control with multiple cores.
• Memory capacity 260MB (largest in its class)
• Equipped with a large memory capacity of 260MB, it can comfortably cope with the increasing number of recipe data during setup changes and the collection of large amounts of inspection results and trace data for productivity and quality improvement.
• Parallel Processing with Multi-Core
• Intel ® CoreTMi7 processor (quad-core) enables data communication and processing independent of machine control. It can handle more and more data faster without worrying about the impact on machine performance and can handle additional data processing to improve processes.
• Ethernet 1Gbpsx2 (fastest in the industry)
• Two communication ports for Gigabit Ethernet are provided as standard, and FTP server and client functions are also provided, enabling transmission and reception of large amounts of data to higher systems without stress. EtherNet/IP communication enables tag data communication and CIP message communication at up to 40,000pps.
• Large-Scale Large-Scale Line Equipment Can Be Controlled by One Device
• A single NX7 can perform motion synchronization control up to 256 axes, making it possible to construct large-scale line equipment simply.
• Up to 256 axes can be controlled by one NX7
• Line devices that previously had to be controlled by multiple controllers can be controlled synchronously by one NX7. This eliminates the need for applications to implement tedious inter-controller synchronization.
• Performance Improvements
• The NX7, which has high basic processing performance, can operate comfortably on a single controller. In addition, performance can be improved by eliminating the need for interlocks and inter-controller synchronization that used to occur between multiple controllers.
• Up to 512 nodes can be connected with less wiring
• Up to 512 nodes can be die-chained on EtherCAT, reducing start-up man-hours for large line equipment.
• Integrated System for Stable Operation of Preventive Maintenance Production Facilities
• The Sysmac automation platform integrates sequence control, motion control, high-speed network EtherCAT, as well as sensors, actuators, safety equipment, and indicators. These functions combine to ensure stable operation of equipment and lines.
• Preventive maintenance of sensor equipment in combination with EtherCAT-compatible sensor
• By monitoring the condition of the sensor, malfunction due to dirt or failure due to aging can be detected in advance. *Sensor settings can also be backed up and restored, reducing downtime in the event of a problem.
• Preventive maintenance of actuator equipment by integrating network motion control
• The NJ/NX controller that integrates high-speed network EtherCAT and motion control enables constant monitoring of actuator equipment at high speed.
• * This is possible by combining the NJ/NX controller and Ether CAT communication compatible sensor communication unit type E3NW to create a display screen. A sample program for the NS/NA series our company display is available. Please contact a our company sales representative for details.
