Physical & Technical Performance Parameters

Bus Velocity & Network Synchronization Features

The CPU manages high-speed backplane bus communication velocity across connected local NX-series I/O modules. Integrated EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP deterministic networks ensure tight axis synchronization and zero-jitter data delivery. Firmware flash compatibility allows direct field updating without disrupting saved variable configurations, while backplane power distribution supports scalable local I/O density without external bus repeaters.
