The automation of feed mills<\/strong>, for instance, is one of the primary applications for the Nexto NJ series. In addition to its ruggedness, this series offers an excellent cost-benefit ratio, making it ideal for this type of operation:<\/p>\n\n\n\nNexto NX: High Availability for Critical Process Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The Nexto NX series<\/strong> series is the high-performance pillar of the Altus portfolio. Developed for applications where downtime and operational risks are unacceptable, this series combines high processing power with a modular I\/O system based on high-speed Ethernet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe internal backplane, operating at 100 Mbps<\/strong>, ensures deterministic and rapid sharing of field data between modules. This architecture enables the control of complex processes and high-dynamic loops, guaranteeing precision, stability, and reliability even in the most critical scenarios<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, the greatest differentiator of the Nexto NX series is undoubtedly its full support for Hot Swapping<\/strong>, allowing a module to be replaced without shutting down the main controller or interrupting the power supply to the rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHot swapping is complemented by the Easy Plug System<\/strong> of the NX modules, a technology that enables the connection and disconnection of I\/O terminal blocks safely and without the need for tools. The module’s front cover itself acts as a mechanical guide, ensuring the correct positioning of the terminal and the reliable restoration of electrical contact after maintenance interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother standout feature is<\/strong> One Touch Diag (OTD)<\/strong>. Through a graphic display on the CPU, the operator can access diagnostic information for any module in the system simply by pressing a button on the respective module. This tool provides immediate data on the status of each I\/O point, short-circuit alarms, loss of external power, or configuration failures, allowing for rapid troubleshooting<\/strong> without needing a connection to programming software during operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series also supports network redundancy<\/strong> through two NX5210<\/strong> modules, which allow the connection of an I\/O bus to two distinct PROFIBUS-DP networks operating in active\/standby mode. If a cable breaks in one of the networks, communication is automatically transferred to the secondary network. Additionally, the presence of an integrated firewall<\/strong> and native VPN tunnels<\/strong> in models like the NX3008<\/strong> protects data traffic against external threats in connected networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe diversity of NX series I\/O modules allows for meeting the specific needs of each industrial sector:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
