Machine Automation Controller NX1P
22
*1. Inline ST is supported. (Inline ST is ST that is written as an element in a ladder diagram.)
*2. This is the total of 512 events for the CPU Unit and 64 events for the NX Unit.
*3. This is the total of 512 events for the CPU Unit and 16 events for the NX Unit.
*4. Restore is supported with unit version 1.14 or later.
Debugging
Data Tracing
Types
Single Triggered
Trace
When the trigger condition is met, the specified number of samples are taken
and then tracing stops automatically.
Continuous Trace
Data tracing is executed continuously and the trace data is collected by the
Sysmac Studio.
Maximum Number of Simultaneous Data
Traces
2
Maximum Number of Records 10000
Maximum Number of Sampled Variables 48 variables
Timing of Sampling
Sampling is performed for the specified task period, at the specified time, or
when a sampling instruction is executed.
Triggered Traces Trigger conditions are set to record data before and after an event.
Trigger Conditions
When BOOL variable changes to TRUE or FALSE
Comparison of non-BOOL variable with a constant
Comparison Method: Equals (=), Greater than (>), Greater than or
equals (≥), Less Than (<), Less than or equals (≤), Not equal (≠)
Delay
Trigger position setting: A slider is used to set the percentage of sampling
before and after the trigger condition is met.
Simulation The operation of the CPU Unit is emulated in the Sysmac Studio.

CPU Unit Names and Serial IDs
When going online to a CPU Unit from the Sysmac Studio, the CPU Unit name
in the project is compared to the name of the CPU Unit being connected to.
Protection
User Program
Transfer with no
Restoration
Information
You can prevent reading data in the CPU Unit from the Sysmac Studio.
CPU Unit Write
Protection
You can prevent writing data to the CPU Unit from the Sysmac Studio or SD
Memory Card.
Overall Project File
Protection
You can use passwords to protect .smc files from unauthorized opening on
the Sysmac Studio.
Data Protection You can use passwords to protect POUs on the Sysmac Studio.
Verification of Operation Authority
Online operations can be restricted by operation rights to prevent damage to
equipment or injuries that may be caused by operating mistakes.
Number of Groups 5
Verification of User Program Execution ID
The user program cannot be executed without entering a user program
execution ID from the Sysmac Studio for the specific hardware (CPU Unit).
SD Memory
Card
functions
Storage Type
SD Memory Card,
SDHC Memory Card
Application
Automatic Transfer from SD Memory
Card
When the power supply to the Controller is turned ON, the data that is stored
in the autoload directory of the SD Memory Card is transferred to the
Controller.
Program transfer from SD Memory Card
With the specification of the system-defined variable, you can transfer a
program that is stored in the SD Memory Card to the Controller.
SD Memory Card Operation Instructions You can access SD Memory Cards from instructions in the user program.
File Operations from the Sysmac Studio
You can perform file operations for Controller files in the SD Memory Card and
read/write general-purpose document files on the computer.
SD Memory Card Life Expiration
Detection
Notification of the expiration of the life of the SD Memory Card is provided in
a system-defined variable and event log.
Backing up
data
SD Memory Card
backups
Operating
methods
CPU Unit front panel
DIP switch
Backup, verification, and restoration operations are performed by
manipulating the front-panel DIP switch on the CPU Unit.
Specification with
system-defined
variables
Backup, verification, and restoration operations are performed by
manipulating system-defined variables.*4
SD Memory Card
Window in Sysmac
Studio
Backup and verification operations are performed from the SD Memory Card
Window of the Sysmac Studio.
Special instruction The special instruction is used to backup data.
Protection
Disabling backups
to SD Memory Cards
Backing up data to a SD Memory Card is prohibited.
Sysmac Studio Controller backups The Sysmac Studio is used to backup, restore, or verify Controller data.
