Advanced motion control and networks for onsite IoT in a Sysmac entry model

‍

‍

Advanced motion control

The built-in EtherCAT port and advanced motion control make machines faster and more precise

• EtherCAT simplifies the wiring to up to eight servo systems including for single-axis position control.
• Up to four axes of motion control. Electronic cams and interpolation increase machine speed and precision.

‍

Interpolation

Linear interpolation and circular interpolation for precise machining and high-speed handling

‍

Electronic cam

• Electronic cam enables continuous and high-speed machine operation
• Electronic cam makes it possible to easily change operation timing via a program through computerized cam operation to meet diverse production needs, which is difficult with mechanical cam

‍

‍

Data transmission delay is compensated to synchronize servomotors.
Synchronized axes provide high-precision positioning.

• EtherCAT enables one cable to connect the NX1P with servo drives, reducing wiring work.

‍

1S AC Servo System

• No battery, no maintenance. No need for homing sequence improving machine uptime
• 23 bit high resolution encoder as standard
• Improved loop control for low overshoot and quick settling time
• Safety function: STO

Networks for onsite IoT

IO-Link brings IoT to the sensor level

• EtherCAT connects I/O devices, motion devices, safety controllers, and vision systems with a single cable. You can check machine information by monitoring the status of the connected components.
• EtherNet/IP enables communications with a host PC and data links between NJ/NX Controllers and CJ PLCs.
• The NX1P can easily connect to the cloud using the MQTT Communication Library, and data on the manufacturing site can be collected securely.

‍

Predictive maintenance using IO-Link

You can start predictive maintenance with visualization of the status of a small-sized machine.
IO-Link functionality can be added to existing machines.
