CPU that pulls motion and logic together
The NX102-1200 runs 8 synchronous real axes and up to 15 total including virtual at a 1 ms primary task cycle. Program memory sits at 5 MB with 33.5 MB for variables, so you keep multi-axis sequences and large data sets on board without extra memory cards. OPC-UA is native, cutting out a separate gateway for SCADA or MES communication.
No, the CP1E won't drop in
The CP1E-E60DR-A-EC is a compact PLC with 60 integrated I/O, relay outputs, and AC power. The NX102-1200 is a modular motion CPU with no onboard I/O, different depth (10 cm vs 7.8 cm for the CP1E body, though the CP1E is deeper overall at 19.5 cm), and a completely different rack architecture. Replacing a CP1E with this unit means a full panel rewire and new I/O configuration — it is not a form-factor swap.
Mounting and integration notes
Mounts on the NX1 series backplane. The 1 ms cycle handles both logic and motion update for up to 8 real axes, so you don't need a separate motion module unless you exceed that count. OPC-UA server runs on-board, enabling direct data exchange with higher-level systems without extra hardware.
