1-1 The NX-series Controllers
The SYSMAC NX-series Controllers are next-generation machine automation controllers that provide
the functionality and high-speed performance that are required for machine control. They provide the
safety, reliability, and maintainability that are required of industrial controllers.
The NX-series Controllers provide the functionality of previous OMRON PLCs, and they also provide
the functionality that is required for motion control. Especially, the NX-series NX1P2 Controller can
perform I/O operation with an attached NX Unit or Option Board, and with the built-in I/O.
OMRON offers the new Sysmac Series of control devices designed with unified communications speci-
fications and user interface specifications. The NX-series Machine Automation Controllers are part of
the Sysmac Series. You can use them together with EtherCAT slaves, other Sysmac products, and the
Sysmac Studio Automation Software to achieve optimum functionality and ease of operation.
With a system that is created from Sysmac products, you can connect components and commission the
system through unified concepts and usability.
 Standard-feature EtherCAT Control Network Support
All CPU Units provide an EtherCAT master port for EtherCAT communications.
EtherCAT is an advanced industrial network system that achieves faster, more-efficient communica-
tions. It is based on Ethernet. Each node achieves a short fixed communications cycle time by trans-
mitting Ethernet frames at high speed.
The standard-feature EtherCAT control network allows you to connect all of the devices required for
machine control (e.g., I/O systems, Servo Drives, Inverters, and machine vision) to the same net-
work.
