The MX2 is specifically designed to drive
machines. It has been developed to
harmonise advanced motor and machine
control. Thanks to its advanced design and
algorithms the MX2 provides smooth control
down to zero speed, plus precise operation
for fast cyclic operations and torque control
capability in open loop. The MX2 also gives
you comprehensive functionality for machine
control such as positioning, speed
synchronisation and logic programming. The
MX2 is fully integrated within the Omron
smart automation platform. The MX2 is the
child of a true leader in machine automation.

100% Control...
High starting torque and torque control capability in
open loop mode give you full control of your machine
dynamics and performance. Options for all of the major
fieldbus systems and a 24 VDC external supply keeps
you in full control of your machine operation.

Torque master
The MX2 delivers 200% starting
torque near stand-still (0.5 Hz) and
can operate in torque control in open
loop mode. This allows the MX2 to
be used in applications where
closed loop AC vector drives were
previously used.
Easy network integration
Built-in RS485 Modbus
communications and standard
industrial networks, such as EtherCAT
(compliant with CoE - CiA402 Drive
profile -), MECHATROLINK-II,
DeviceNet, Profibus or
CompoNet as options.
External 24 VDC for
continuous operation
With no additional hardware, a 24 VDC
connection to the MX2 ensures the
CPU is always in control, even if the
main input is removed. This feature
is vital in providing a controlled stop
in emergency situations and in
keeping the network communications
operating.
...0% risk!
Safety is embedded in the MX2, according to ISO 13849-1,
Cat 3, with two safety inputs and an External Device
Monitoring (EDM) output.
No external contactors on the motor side are required,
meaning simpler wiring for the user.

Safety embedded;
ISO 13849-1, cat 3
Dual contactors at the output of the
inverter are no longer required.
Direct connection to a safety
controller ensures compliance to ISO
13849-1, cat 3.
EDM monitoring output
An External Device Monitoring (EDM)
output confirms the safety status of
the inverter, saving you the cost and
wiring of external devices to carry out
the same function.
Direct integration into the
safety circuit
MX2 inverters can fit easily into the
safety circuit. The safety inputs can
be linked from one inverter to
another without additional safety
relays.
