    NX9406: 18-Terminal Connector with Fixation 1.1.2. Innovative Features Nexto Series brings to the user many innovations regarding utilization, supervision and system maintenance. These features were developed focusing a new concept in industrial automation. Battery Free Operation: Nexto Series does not require any kind of battery for memory maintenance and real time clock operation.
  • Page 10: Architecture

    ETD – Electronic Tag on Display: Another exclusive feature that Nexto Series brings to PLCs is the Electronic Tag on Display. This new functionality brings the process of checking the tag names of any I/O pin or module used in the system directly to the CPU’s graphic display.
  • Page 11: I/O Modules

    The I/O modules are plugged into the racks for adapting the different types of field signals to the CPU or fieldbus heads. Nexto Series supports a wide variety of I/O types and operating ranges, thus covering all the typical needs for an automation system.
  • Page 12: Application Examples

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1.4. Application Examples 1.1.4.1. Compact CPU This architecture explores the needs of compact applications. A CPU with integrated power supply (NX3003, NX3004 or NX3005), 8 positions rack and input and output modules enable the reduction of space and cost in your project. These architectures presented in Figure and Figure are the most indicated to be used in machinery automation.
  • Page 13: Single Cpu With Remote Rack Expansion

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1.4.3. Single CPU with Remote Rack Expansion This architecture is based on a base rack (where the CPU is placed) and remote racks. The communication between the base rack and remote racks is done via the bus expansion module. Each remote rack needs its own power supply module (PSU) and bus expansion module.
  • Page 14: Single Cpu With Remote Rack Expansion And Loopback

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1.4.4. Single CPU with Remote Rack Expansion and Loopback This architecture is based on the previous one with a base rack (where the CPU is placed) and remote racks. The commu- nication between the base rack and remote racks is also made via the bus expansion module. The only difference is that the outgoing data port in the last bus expansion module is connected to the base rack expansion module incoming data port.
  • Page 15: Single Cpu With Redundant Rack Expansion And Loopback

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1.4.5. Single CPU with Redundant Rack Expansion and Loopback This architecture is based on the use of two bus expansion modules in the racks. With more than one expansion module, the system has an outstanding availability, because it supports single cable failure or expansion module failure. Just as the previous architecture, this is intended for systems where maintenance is an issue and the system must be available for a longer time.

    1.1.4.9. CPU Redundancy For very critical applications, Nexto Series is capable of having redundancy of CPUs. The only CPU model with this feature is NX3030. These CPUs can be located in different racks (known as half clusters). In this architecture, the system will have one controller running the control task (primary controller) and another one acting as the standby controller with all current system status for automatic switchover in the event of a primary controller failure.
  • Page 20: Cpu & Network Interface Modules Redundancy

    1.1.5.2. Modules The modules carry high density I/Os. Nexto Series delivers two module form factors – slim and full size modules – allowing the best I/O combination for many applications where high-density and panel size can be an issue. Every I/O module has a display for local diagnosis, where each I/O point state is presented.
  • Page 21: Terminal Block Insertion & Removal

    1.1.5.9. Capacities In Nexto Series, each rack can fit up to 24 18-mm modules or 12 36-mm modules. With this architecture, a single CPU can control 320 I/O points using a single rack. This can be expanded up to 25 racks (according the CPU model) using bus expansion modules.

    Table 7: Rack drilling dimensions Nexto Series backplane rack has 6 holes for fixation. DIN 7985 M4 cross recessed pan head screws must be used in all holes. These screws can be fixed straight in the panel or using nuts, when the panel width is too thin to create a thread. At using nuts, it’s recommended the use of self-locking nuts to avoid it become loose.
