1 Introduction to NX-series Controllers
 Programming with Variables to Eliminate Worrying about the Memory Map
You access all data through variables in the same way as for the advanced programming languages
that are used on computers. Memory in the CPU Unit is automatically assigned to the variables that
you create so that you do not have to remember the physical addresses.
 A Wealth of Security Features
The many security features of the NX-series Controllers include operation authority settings and
restriction of program execution with IDs.
 Complete Controller Monitoring
The CPU Unit monitors events in all parts of the Controller, including mounted Units and EtherCAT
slaves.
Troubleshooting information for errors is displayed on the Sysmac Studio or on an NS-series PT.
Events are also recorded in logs.
 Sysmac Studio Automation Software
The Sysmac Studio provides an integrated development environment that covers not only the Con-
troller, but also covers peripheral devices and devices on EtherCAT. You can use consistent proce-
dures for all devices regardless of the differences in the devices. The Sysmac Studio supports all
phases of Controller application, from designing through debugging, simulations, commissioning,
and changes during operation.
 A Wealth of Simulation Features
The many simulation features include execution, debugging, and task execution time estimates on a
virtual controller.
