NX - Next generation Control System
NX range offers exceptional value for money. Available in two screen sizes (128x64 and 240x128) with an optional touch screen it has full monochrome graphics capabilities and supports all of our I/O systems (SmartStack, SmartStix, SmartMod) at the same time. This I/O capability coupled with the dual protocol capabilities, Ethernet and Fieldbus support, makes the NX a fantastic systems gateway.
Depending on your application needs the NX offers incredible power for a good price. The OCS with its full IEC61131-3 integrated development environment for logic, HMI design, networking and I/O configuration is a very capable PLC with full graphics capability.
The operator interface used in the NX series is a high visibility graphics monchrome LC-Display with green adjustable backlight offering excellent readability to the user in the most difficult conditions.
I/O, Communications options for any application
Choose any module from our extensive SmartStack, SmartStix and/or SmartMod I/O. Two serial ports support many protocols giving the abillity to connect to virtually any serial device. Add a Fieldbus option such as CAN (CsCAN or CANopen), DeviceNet or Profibus DP among others and the NX becomes a truely remarquable gateway between your process, the user and the supervision over Ethernet.
Note: Future firmware will enable programming the NX through the USB slave port. Currently this port is not functional.
