Description
Designed for high-speed, high-precision machine control, the NX701-1600 centralizes motion, logic, and industrial communication within a single, unified execution engine. This Sysmac NX7 series controller coordinates complex multi-axis motion sequences while handling demanding database transactions and network communication tasks. By combining sequence control, motion control, and open communication standards like OPC-UA, this unit serves as a robust processing core for large-scale industrial automation architectures.
The unit connects directly to the high-speed NX I/O bus system, ensuring rapid data exchange with local I/O modules. Equipped with built-in dual-network interfaces, it facilitates seamless horizontal integration across the factory floor and vertical integration into enterprise IT systems without requiring additional communication hardware.
Features
- Supports coordination of up to 128 synchronized motion axes, including virtual axes, for complex multi-axis machinery.
- Delivers a high-speed primary task cycle time of 0.125 ms to meet the demands of highly dynamic applications.
- Features integrated communication interfaces including an EtherCAT Master port, EtherNet/IP, and standard Ethernet TCP/IP.
- Allocates substantial memory resources with 80 MB of program memory and 260 MB of variables memory to handle complex automation scripts.
- Supports integrated sequence and motion control along with native OPC-UA server functionality.
- Utilizes the high-bandwidth NX I/O bus system for rapid local module communications.
Applications
- High-speed packaging and filling machinery
- Semiconductor manufacturing and assembly systems
- Multi-axis robotic integration and synchronized kinematics
- Automated warehousing and material handling sorting lines
- Continuous web handling and metal forming systems

Installation Guidelines
When installing the controller, mount the unit securely onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail within a clean, dry, and dust-free control cabinet. Ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the module to prevent heat buildup. All high-speed communication cables, especially EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP connections, should use high-quality shielded category 5e (or higher) cabling to minimize electromagnetic interference. Establish a low-impedance functional ground connection directly to the main system ground bar during electrical setup.
