Omron NJ301-1100 Sysmac NJ3 Machine Automation Controller

The Omron NJ301-1100 is a high-performance machine automation controller from the Sysmac NJ3 series, designed for fast, deterministic control in motion, sequence, and networked systems. This compact controller integrates real-time motion control (4 synchronous servo axes), EtherCAT Master, EtherNet/IP, and a robust IEC 61131-3 programming environment, all in a single platform.

With 5 MB of program memory, 2.5 MB of variable memory, and support for up to 192 EtherCAT nodes, the NJ301-1100 is ideal for mid-range machines demanding fast cycle times, integrated safety, and scalable architecture.
