same features of the full-sized NX100 controller in a much smaller mid-
size cabinet. It is available with smaller HP-Series robot models (HP3M, HP3XFM, HP3LM, HP5M, HP6M,
HP6RM, HP6SM and HP6RSM) with payloads from 3-6 kg (6.6-13.23 lbs), and the new four-axis, YS-Series
SCARA arms (YS450, YS650, YS650L and YSH850L) with payloads from 5-20 kg (11-44.1 lbs.). The
NXM100 provides patented multiple robot control capability (up to FOUR robots with one pendant, open
communication, and integrated cell control. It has the ability to fit one optional external axis servo amplifier for
seventh axis control.
The NX100M robot controller features a Windows
®
CE programming pendant with color touch screen;
high-speed processing; unmatched memory (60,000 steps, 10,000 instructions); easy-to-use INFORM III
programming language; a robust PC architecture; and built-in Ethernet. The NXM100 includes four levels of
password protection for up to 100 individual users. A convenient compact flash slot on the pendant enables easy
memory back-ups. All operator controls are located on the pendant, allowing the control cabinet to be mounted
remotely. 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. Best-in-class path planning dramatically reduces teaching time.
The NXM100 controller 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. Dual-channel safety features include enhanced E-stop functionality, integrated speed monitoring, manual
brake release for the robot.
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 and an onboard graphical ladder editor,
the NXM100 delivers significant savings at the system level, while also decreasing system complexity and
improving overall system reliability.
