The revolutionary NX100 controller
features a Windows® CE programming
pendant with color touch screen, highspeed processing, unmatched memory
(60,000 steps, 10,000 instructions), built-in
Ethernet, and a robust PC architecture. The
NX100 features password protection with
four levels and up to 100 individual users.
The NX100 easily handles multiple
tasks, with unmatched ability to control
up to four robots (up to 36 axes,
including robots and external axes),
and I/O devices. Dynamic interference
spheres protect the robot arm, providing
collision avoidance/arm interference
prevention. Advanced Robot Motion
(ARM) control provides high-performance
path accuracy and vibration control. In
addition, the NX100 features best-in-class
path planning that dramatically reduces
teaching time.
The programming pendant features
a unique cross-shaped navigation cursor
that reduces teaching time by 30 percent.
It has full-color touch-screen display and
a convenient compact flash slot for easy

memory back-ups. All operator controls
are located on the pendant, allowing the
control cabinet to be mounted remotely.
Dual-channel safety features include
enhanced E-Stop functionality, integrated
speed monitoring, and manual brake
release for the robot.
The NX100 also offers unmatched
connectivity, highly flexible Fieldbus
support, and easy connection to an
information infrastructure through
standard network options for DeviceNet,
ControlNet, Profibus-DP, EtherNet/IP, and
many others. An optional web server that
allows remote monitoring and diagnosis
is available.
By eliminating the need for a separate
PLC, PC-based human machine interface
(HMI), and separate password protection
hardware, and by providing a standard
Ethernet port, the NX100 delivers
significant cost savings at the system
level, while also decreasing system
complexity and improving overall
system reliability.
