NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (W501)
This section introduces the functions for which performance was improved for each unit version of the
CPU Unit and for each Sysmac Studio version.
*1 The performance improvement applies only to an NJ301- CPU Unit. The maximum number of vari-
ables with a Retain attributes for the NJ501- is 10,000.
*2 This is the total for all axis types.
*3 The performance improvement applies only to an NJ301- CPU Unit. The maximum numbers of con-
trolled axes for the NJ501- are as follows:
NJ501-1500: 64 axes, NJ501-1400: 32 axes, and NJ501-1300: 16 axes
*4 There is no change in the maximum number of used real axes.
