Final NZ M1 Drive

The OMRON 3G3M1 Series is a compact, general-purpose AC drive with precise motor control, native connectivity, and built-in safety to accelerate machine design.
Standard models: Fast setup via USB and Modbus RTU.
EtherCAT models: Built-in EtherCAT + FSoE for SIL 3/PL e STO, future-proof inside the Sysmac ecosystem.
Range: 0.1–22 kW at 230 V / 400 V in slim footprints from 68 mm wide to save panel space
Ease, speed, accuracy, reliability, safety — future-ready by design.

Challenges the M1 Solves
⏱ No wasted integration time — EtherCAT + FSoE are built in. No add-on cards required.
📦 Cabinet space is tight — M1 starts at 68 mm × 127 mm, reducing panel size and wiring.
🔄 Flexibility for mixed motors — supports induction and PM motors, V/f and vector control

M1 Variable Speed Drive vs Competitors

Feature	OMRON M1 VSD (3G3M1)	Typical Competitor Drives
EtherCAT + Safety (FSoE)	✅ Native EtherCAT + FSoE; STO to SIL 3/PL e; no add-on cards; ring topology support in the Sysmac architecture.	❌ EtherCAT and safety often require separate option cards → higher cost, extra setup, more parts to manage; ring topology support varies.
Hardware Size & Scalability	✅ Slim frames from 68 mm W × 127 mm H; same footprint 0.1–22 kW across 200 V / 400 V → simpler panel layouts and fewer spare variants.	❌ Bulkier / varying footprints across power ratings → panel redesigns, extra wiring, more spare variants.
Precision Control & Software	✅ USB commissioning in Sysmac Studio; V/f & vector (open/closed loop) for IM & PM; up to 590 Hz; built-in trace & diagnostics + encoder/pulse input for fast tuning	❌ Basic V/f common; multiple tools / manual tuning more likely; diagnostics and feedback inputs vary by model.

Disclaimer: Comparisons are indicative; verify per model and application.

How to Select Your M1 Drive
• M1 ECT (EtherCAT): Choose for native EtherCAT, integrated FSoE STO, and Sysmac synchronisation.
• M1 STD (Standard): Choose for cost-optimised control via RS-485 Modbus RTU + USB, with STO (wired); capability SIL3 / PLe.

Voltage / Power Range
• 1P 230 V: 0.2–3.7 kW (ECT starts at 0.2 kW)
• 3P 230 V: Up to 22 kW (duty-dependent: ND/HD/HHD)
• 3P 400 V: 0.4–22 kW

Duty guide: ND for pumps/fans | HD/HHD for conveyors, indexing, and higher-inertia loads.
