Product Overview
The Omron NJ501-1500 is a Sysmac NJ5-series machine automation controller from the NJ platform, manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation stocks this controller in Xiamen and ships within 3-5 business days to most Asian, European, and North American ports.
The unit runs motion, logic and sequence control in a single CPU. Program memory is 20 MB and variable memory is 6 MB (2 MB retained plus 4 MB non-retained). The primary task cycle time is 0.5 ms and the controller runs up to 64 motion axes across 192 EtherCAT nodes.
Built-in ports are EtherCAT master, EtherNet/IP and USB. An OPC-UA server sits on the hardware. Supply is 5 V at 1.9 A from an NJ-PA3001 AC PSU or NJ-PD3001 DC PSU on the same rack. The body is 90 x 96 x 150 mm, 550 g, DIN-rail mounted. For 32 axes at the same 20 MB, pick the NJ501-1400.

- Built-in EtherCAT + EtherNet/IP + USB with OPC-UA server on the hardware
- 5 V 1.9 A from NJ-PA3001 (AC) or NJ-PD3001 (DC), 90 x 96 x 150 mm, 550 g
- SKU: NJ501-1500
- Series: Omron Sysmac NJ5-series machine automation controller
- I/O: 40 I/O
Best-Fit Applications
- Multi-axis packaging line where the 64 axes cover the indexer, the wrapper and the case packer in one EtherCAT network
- Robotic pick-and-place cell where the 0.5 ms cycle time matches the vision system and the 192 EtherCAT nodes carry all servos and I/O
- Spare CPU drop-in for an existing NJ501-1500 cell where the Sysmac Studio project loads via the USB port and the EtherCAT topology stays the same
Buying Checklist
- Pick the NJ501-1500 for a Sysmac NJ5 CPU with 64 axes, 192 EtherCAT nodes and a built-in OPC-UA server.
- Pick the NJ501-1400 instead when the cell needs only 32 axes at the same 20 MB program memory.
- Pick the NJ501-1300 instead when the cabinet needs only 16 axes at the same 20 MB program memory.

FAQ for NJ501-1500
How many motion axes can the NJ501-1500 control?
Up to 64 motion axes and up to 192 total EtherCAT nodes in a single controller. The same controller also handles the sequence logic, so no separate PLC is needed for the I/O side.
Does the NJ501-1500 have a built-in OPC-UA server?
Yes. The OPC-UA server runs on the hardware and exposes variables to MES and SCADA clients over the EtherNet/IP port without a separate gateway. Security is handled with the standard OPC-UA certificate and user authentication.
What power supply does the NJ501-1500 need?
An NJ-PA3001 (100-240 VAC, 30 W) or NJ-PD3001 (24 VDC, 30 W) on the same rack. The CPU draws 5 V at 1.9 A. CJ-series power supplies cannot be used on an NJ-series rack.
Can the NJ501-1500 reuse CJ-series I/O?
Yes. Mount a CJ1W-IC101 I/O control unit on the NJ CPU rack and connect a CJ expansion rack with CS1W-CN223 or CS1W-CN713 cables. Existing CJ I/O and Special I/O units drop in without rewiring.
