We have confirmed our participation once again in SPS (Smart Production Solutions) 2026, the largest global event dedicated to industrial automation.
The trade fair will take place from November 24 to 26, 2026, at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre in Germany (NürnbergMesse). Recognized as the essential gathering point for the global industry, SPS brings together over 1,000 exhibitors and 50,000 international visitors, offering a strategic environment to showcase new solutions, trends, and technological innovations.
In its 37th edition, the fair once again establishes itself as a showcase for the future of industry, focusing on smart automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence.
Event opening hours: Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Our booth will be located in Hall 7, Booth 677, alongside our partner CODESYS. This year, we will highlight automation solutions developed to serve the market’s most critical and demanding sectors.
What you will find at our booth
Nexto XF: a new series of compact controllers
The new Nexto XF Series stands out overall for its high density of onboard I/Os housed in a smart, compact design, offering up to 44 integrated points in a single controller across digital and analog inputs and outputs, depending on the selected model.
For larger applications requiring higher I/O point counts, the system expands effortlessly via expansion modules connected directly to the CPU backplane bus. This flexibility expands further through the wide array of fieldbuses supported across the Nexto XF line, enabling seamless combinations of local I/Os with remote (distributed) devices communicating via protocols such as CANopen, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and MODBUS TCP/RTU.
Following in the footsteps of the acclaimed NX3008 CPU, the Nexto XF series retains app virtualization capabilities via Docker along with native security features, including built-in Firewall and VPN, that users can configure with ease.
To complement this infrastructure with enhanced signal-processing capacity, booth visitors can explore the XF101 and XF201 expansion modules. The XF101 module provides 16 digital inputs at 24 VDC, making it ideal for the precise monitoring of proximity sensors, pushbuttons, and limit switches. Meanwhile, the XF201 adds 16 transistor digital outputs at 24 VDC, engineered for the rapid actuation of actuators, solenoids, and indicators with PWM output support for speed and modulation control.
In practice, pairing these modules with a Nexto XF CPU expands the control potential for OEM machinery without sacrificing enclosure panel space. In a filling machine or packaging conveyor, for instance, the XF101 module guarantees instant position reading of bottles or boxes, while the XF201 commands dosing operations and drives secondary conveyors, delivering an integrated, modular solution perfectly sized to match every project requirement.
NX3008: a global CPU for your business
In the Nexto NX Series, we present the NX3008, a high-performance CPU featuring advanced security capabilities, high capacity for modular architectures connected to NX and NJ modules, and virtualization via Docker. It is a complete solution for systems requiring broad connectivity, delivering performance and versatility for the most diverse demands.
This CPU features 3 Ethernet ports, one Gigabit port and two supporting the PROFINET Controller protocol, enabling the controller to be deployed within an MRP ring network architecture.
Another advanced capability is its embedded Docker platform. Native to the CPU, this feature enables software virtualization, bringing greater versatility and speed to system operations by allowing multiple datasets to be processed directly inside the CPU.
Operate in the IoT ecosystem with the Nexto XP Series
In addition to the latest developments in the Altus portfolio, Nexto XP Series controllers remain the ideal cost-effective solution to meet the demands of highly connected environments.
Featuring embedded Ethernet, RS-485, CAN, and USB communication interfaces, these PLCs support a wide array of communication protocols, including MODBUS TCP and RTU, PROFINET, CANopen, J-1939, IEC 60870-5-104, EtherNet/IP, OPC DA, OPC UA, and MQTT.
The XP340 model is a compact, high-density I/O solution designed for both stand-alone and distributed applications. Its DIN rail mounting design makes it perfect for limited space in control panels. The XP340 also includes WebServer support, a tool that enables the creation of supervision and monitoring screens without requiring a SCADA system.
SPS is the global gathering point for industrial automation. It is the hub of innovations and trends driving the digital transformation of industry.
Featuring a diverse agenda and access to exclusive content through SPS Insights, the event offers a complete immersion into the latest trends. It also serves as an excellent opportunity for international networking, connecting industry professionals from all around the world.
Secure your visit to our booth and see how we are developing increasingly rugged and innovative technologies.
The future of industry is smart, connected, and secure, and Altus provides the technology needed to get there.
See you in Nuremberg!
