Description
NX1
Information & Productivity in a miniaturized size controller
The NX1 series modular machine controller provides logic sequence, motion and information functionality. NX1 is joining production and IT worlds, minimizing engineering and maintenance while suppressing middleware.
- IoT Ready: OPC UA server built-in as standard feature, variable structures are supported
- Database direct connection: SQL client for server Microsoft SQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, MySQL, Firebird, PostgreSQL
- Large memory for data handling. 33.5 MB for variables
- Battery-less controller
- Cycle time: from 1 ms
- Up to 12 axes (8 synchronized motion axes & 4 PTP)
- One unique and synchronized cycle for local & remote I/O, EtherCAT devices and motion control
- Database direct connection in V2.0 is expanded with stored procedure calls and secure communications functionality
- Database direct connection: SQL client for server Microsoft SQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, MySQL, Firebird, PostgreSQL
- Multi-tasking controller
- Expanded network connectivity, 2x Ethernet ports + 1 EtherCAT
- Up to 32 local NX units, including Safety and IO-Link master
- Support up to 64 EtherCAT nodes (400xNX units)
- EtherCAT Ring topology is supported to maintain communications and control in case of a broken cable or device failure
EtherCAT Redundancy

Redundancy minimizes downtime
Even if a part of the EtherCAT network is disconnected, Cable Redundancy provides continuous connectivity.
This function allows you to fix disconnection without stopping the machines and production line where one controller provides both machine control and safety control.
Direct access to SQL Database
Stored procedure

What is stored procedure?
Stored procedure is one of the database functions. A group of SQL statements is stored in a database, enabling complex processing to be executed with one call. The Stored Procedure Call function to call stored procedure in a database from the controller has been added to version 2.0.

Secure connection between FA and IT
Authentication based on server certificates and encrypted communications ensure safe connection between a database server and the CPU unit.*1

5 times faster data collection than the previous method
Batch Insert can store various types of data for a long time, just like an event data recorder. This allows you to identify the causes of line stoppages by analyzing data collected every scan.*1*2

Automatic generation of tables from structures and vice versa
A database table can be automatically generated from a structure, and a structure can be automatically generated from a database table. Mapping time can be reduced.*1
1. Available in NX701-1□20 and NX102-□□20. Will be available in NJ□01-□□20 soon.
2. Compared with when multiple insertions are performed.
3. A stored procedure is required to delete tables.
