Hardware Specifications

Industrial Network Bus & Firmware Flash Compatibility

The processor manages deterministic multi-axis motion interpolation through an integrated EtherCAT master interface operating at primary task cycles down to 0.125 ms. System startup protocols perform hardware-level firmware flash compatibility checks between the CPU base unit and attached NX I/O modules, enforcing strict image revision verification across the internal backplane bus to ensure uninterrupted real-time execution.

Cabinet Installation & Cable Routing Directives

• Mount the controller vertically onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside an IP54 industrial control panel, allowing at least 50 mm clearance above and below for convective heat dissipation.
• Connect the system power supply terminals to a regulated DC source using twisted-pair cables with isolated ferrules.
• Shield all EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP fieldbus network lines using double-shielded Cat6A RJ45 cables routed away from high-voltage AC inverter wiring.
• Connect the functional ground (FG) terminal directly to a low-impedance copper earth bus bar inside the electrical enclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the minimum primary task execution cycle time for this controller?

  The CPU processes deterministic sequence and motion control routines at a minimum primary task cycle time of 0.125 ms.

• How many total motion axes can be synchronized under EtherCAT control?

  The controller manages up to 128 synchronous motion axes, covering both real servo drives and virtual system axes.

• How does internal firmware flash compatibility affect system expansion?

  The CPU validates firmware flash signatures across connected backplane modules during startup to ensure synchronous frame execution.

• What memory capacities are allocated for user programs and variables?

  The hardware incorporates 80 MB of non-volatile program execution memory alongside 260 MB of dedicated variable data memory.

• Which fieldbus and ethernet protocols are natively integrated into the unit?

  The controller features onboard communication ports supporting EtherCAT Master, EtherNet/IP, and standard Ethernet TCP/IP.

• What thermal limits must be maintained during continuous operation?

  The operating ambient temperature surrounding the controller unit must remain within 0 to 55 deg C without condensation.

• How are local I/O channels expanded directly from the CPU base?

  Local field expansion is achieved by attaching NX-series I/O modules via the high-speed internal NX I/O bus interface.

• Is hot-swapping supported for CPU base unit replacement?

  No, system power must be fully isolated before mounting, removing, or servicing the CPU unit and adjacent backplane modules.
