Specification

Engineered for demanding automation networks, the Omron Inverter MX2-Series EtherCAT Communication Unit 3G3AX-MX2-ECT provides a dedicated, high-reliability link between your MX2 drive and an EtherCAT master. This unit leverages the IEC 61158 Type12 standard and 100BASE-TX physical layer to achieve deterministic cycle times, making it ideal for packaging, material handling, and synchronized multi-axis applications. Its plug-and-play design ensures minimal commissioning effort, while the robust environmental specifications guarantee consistent performance in industrial settings.
