• Dual Memory Architecture: Features 4.0 MB of memory for standard user logic and 2.0 MB dedicated to safety logic, ensuring that safety tasks are isolated and executed with the highest priority.
• Fast Execution: Delivers high-speed instruction execution for complex motion profiles and process algorithms.

• Advanced Motion Control:

• 20-Axis Capability: Supports up to 20 axes of coordinated motion control (SERCOS III or EtherNet/IP), making it suitable for complex packaging, assembly, and material handling systems.
• Integrated Functions: Includes built-in motion instructions for gearing, camming, and electronic line shafts.

• Scalability & Connectivity:

• EtherNet/IP Port: Built-in dual-port EtherNet/IP switch for linear network topology and high-speed communication with HMI, drives, and I/O.
• I/O Expansion: Supports up to 31 I/O modules (local and distributed via EtherNet/IP), accommodating up to 90 nodes on the network.
• SD Card Support: Supports high-capacity SD cards for program loading, firmware updates, and data logging.

• Compact & Rugged Design:

• Space-Saving: Compact form factor saves valuable control panel space.
• Industrial Hardened: Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments with wide operating temperature ranges and high immunity to electrical noise.
