  • ● The most compact and lightweight body in its class

Space-saving design that can be installed anywhere, on-site or at a desk

NR-X Series module stack, weighing 950 g / 33.54 oz with an overall width of 218.8 mm / 8.61 inches. NR-500 + NR-HA08P weighs 260 g / 9.18 oz. Front view width: 52.1 mm / 2.05 inches. Side view: height 106.5 mm / 4.19 inches, depth 68.0 mm / 2.68 inches.

Remote unit dramatically simplifies wiring

Remote units reduce the amount of wiring work.

Measurement units can be placed close to the measurement target, which reduces the wiring distance and greatly shortens the measurement preparation time.

  • ● The remote unit reduces wiring work by up to 70%.*

* As investigated by KEYENCE. The actual amount of work required varies depending on the cable length and number of channels.

Connects to remote units

Connect up to 8 remote units

Up to 8 remote units can be connected via 2 branches from the master unit. This enables greater freedom in designing layouts to suit the measurement application and helps reduce the wiring distance.

Max. 100 m 328.1' long-range support

The master unit and remote units can be separated by up to 60 m 196.9', or up to 100 m 328.1' when using multiple remote units.

Environmental resistance, sensor connection unit, and terminal block dramatically simplify wiring

Installable in any environment

KEYENCE environment-resistant remote units are usable in any environment with advanced resistance to temperature, water, shocks, dust, and vibration. With no need to worry about the installation environment, measurement units can be installed as close as possible to the measurement location.

  • ● The environment-resistant unit allows for measurement in environments subject to heat, water, shocks, or dust.
  • Vibration/shock resistance10 G/100 G
  • Cold/heat resistance−40 to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)
  • Water/dust resistanceIP65/IP67
  • Outdoors/weather resistanceEnclosure Type 4X

Simplified sensor wiring

With no need for analog output wiring necessary with conventional systems, wiring work can be kept to a minimum. In addition, the Ethernet data collection unit includes a power supply output function, eliminating the need for separate sensor power supplies.

  • ● The Ethernet data collection unit can connect to various sensors with a single LAN cable.

Connects to sensors

Simplified wiring terminal block

Thermocouple connectors and push-type terminal blocks are available for high-accuracy temperature measurement units and high-speed analog measurement units.

This reduces the time needed for wiring thermocouple and voltage input cables.

Thermocouple connectors

Just plug in the connector.

Push-type terminal block

Just push in and insert the wire.

Setup in just 10 seconds allows for immediate operation

Initial setup takes just two steps!

Even first-time users can start acquiring data immediately.

  • ● Icons designed for easy identification of operations

Step 1

Click [Acquisition Setting].

Step 2

Select a unit and configure the input range settings.

The setup wizard performs automatic recognition and display of unit configuration, showing the connected units for selection.

* The time required for configuring settings varies depending on the setting details.

Cursor functionality for easy analysis

Using a cursor makes it possible to check not only the selected A/B cursor values but also various other information, including the maximum, minimum, average, area, and integral values between the cursors.

Simplified data output

Collected data can be output instantly at the click of a button. Data can be output not only as waveform data files but also as CSVs, MDFs, and other formats as desired. Using the Excel Direct Transfer function also makes it possible to display waveforms and transfer data to Excel simultaneously.

Excellent usability

Redundant saving of data provides high reliability

Data can be simultaneously saved to the PC and an SD card in real-time. Saving data to two different destinations helps prevent data from being lost if the connection to the PC is interrupted. Using a battery supply unit also ensures UPS operability to protect data even in the event of a sudden power failure.

Useful functions for embedded applications

  • SNTP client function

    Regularly adjust the main unit time to match the SNTP server time for accurate automatic time synchronization.

  • Program register function

    Use up to 16 programs with easy external switching between various acquisition setting programs.

  • Various inputs and outputs

    Take advantage of 8 outputs and 8 inputs to output judgments and alarm statuses according to measured values.

Advanced connectivity to PLCs

FTP client function

The included FTP client function can be used to periodically transfer data files from the NR to an FTP server. This means that even without a ladder program, data can be transferred for easy data consolidation and linking.

Supports TCP/IP non-procedural communication: a PLC or PC can command the unit to start/stop acquisition, read data, adjust balance and zero point, or switch programs, receiving a response back.
