Description
Product Overview
NX1P2-1040DT is a compact Sysmac machine automation controller manufactured by Omron. It integrates PLC sequence logic, real-time motion control, and built-in transistor digital I/O. This unit operates as an EtherCAT master, dedicated for small and medium automated machinery. It features 40-point onboard I/O (24DI /16DO NPN transistor), reducing the requirement for external I/O modules and simplifying control cabinet layout.
