Complete renewal of the compact controller range
Two new models released in the NX1P family of compact Sysmac Machine Controllers for maximum scalability and flexibility
In addition to the release of the new CP2E all-in-one programmable micro PLC, we have now also introduced two NX1P2-9B models in our NX1P Series of compact controllers. Even though compact in size, the new models are powerful in function, including our Push-In Plus wiring technology.
OEMs and manufacturers today need to manage the total cost and profits throughout the lifecycle of their machines. They require connected solutions to fulfill Industry 4.0 requirements, with easy-to-use software to reduce development time, scalability and backward compatibility for maintenance, as well as the ability to support flexible production with fast-changing trends.
Key features and benefits:
The NX1P2 family with built-in Ethernet IP and EtherCAT interface offers condition monitoring for predictive maintenance, a perfect sealing filter for thermoforming machines, KPI production measurement, as well as supporting automation for mobile robots.
