Overview

2338_en_O
The Nanoline family is a cost-effective programmable logic controller (PLC) that allows
purchase of only the components and capabilities required for a specific application. This
flexibility is achieved by using a modular approach to build a control system using a base
unit and adding various expansion and option modules.

Typical system module layout

Starting with a base unit (NLC-05x-...), various expansion modules are connected to create
the desired control system. The items that can be connected to the base unit are:
– I/O expansion modules
– Communication expansion modules
– Operator Panel
– Option modules
The base unit, communication expansion modules and I/O expansion modules attach to
standard NS 35 mounting rail.
The type code on each base unit indicates how the base unit is equipped. See Figure 1-2
for an explanation of the type codes.
