TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 5, 2026--
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced the RZ/T2N, a 64-bit microprocessor (MPU) that combines high-precision real-time motor control, industrial Ethernet and application processing on a single chip. With fewer components, engineers can save board space and BOM cost, simplify their designs and shorten development time for a broad range of industrial applications. Because the RZ/T2N can act as either a network controller or a device, engineers can develop articulated robots, multi-axis servos and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) on one platform and reuse their designs across products.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261105657461/en/
The RZ/T2N has dual Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores (up to 1.2 GHz) for application processing and two Cortex-R52 cores (up to 800 MHz) for real-time processing. It supports major industrial Ethernet protocols, including EtherCAT®, PROFINET® RT/IRT and EtherNet/IP™. Combined with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), the device enables next-generation, time-synchronized industrial network communication. Equipment such as multi-axis servo drives and PLCs has traditionally needed multiple chips for these functions, but the RZ/T2N integrates them on a single chip for more compact designs.
Up to Four-Axis Motor Control, Optimized for Robotics
Each Cortex-R52 core has 576 KB of large tightly coupled memory (TCM) with ECC. This minimizes execution-time fluctuation and delivers high-precision motor control. The RZ/T2N also integrates motor control peripherals for up to four axes, enabling single-chip motor control for industrial robots such as SCARA and delta robots. Encoder interfaces, used to measure parameters such as motor rotation angle, provide two channels per axis. They support Tamagawa T-Format, HIPERFACE DSL®, A-format®, EnDat 2.2 and BiSS C, as well as the latest EnDat 3 and BiSS Line protocols.
Enabling Flexible, Highly Reliable Industrial Networks
The RZ/T2N has three Gigabit Ethernet MACs (GMACs), an Ethernet switch and an EtherCAT SubDevice Controller (ESC). This lets designers implement industrial Ethernet in both the controller applications and device applications without external communication ICs. The device also supports redundancy protocols, including High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR), Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and Frame Replication and Elimination for Reliability (FRER). For security, it supports a cryptographic library, secure boot, secure firmware update and Arm TrustZone®. This enables highly reliable networks and systems.
"Industrial equipment designers must balance competing requirements: functionality and performance on one hand, footprint and cost on the other,” said Hari Pendurty, Vice President of the EP Edge AI and Application Processors Business Division at Renesas. “The RZ/T2N solves this challenge by consolidating the essential functions onto a single chip. Combined with our scalable product portfolio, the RZ/T2N gives customers the flexibility to scale their designs for next-generation industrial automation.”

New RZ/T2N MPU Integrates Motor Control, Industrial Ethernet and Application Processing for Robots and Industrial Equipment
MILAN (AP) — Multiple flights in Europe were targeted by bomb threats on Thursday, forcing emergency landings, searches and in several cases military escorts, in fresh disruptions following hoax threats earlier this week.
More than a dozen flights from cities including Copenhagen, Dublin, Helsinki, Madrid, Milan and Warsaw were confirmed to have been targeted with bomb threats, most diverted to other airports for emergency landings while others landed safely at their destinations. So far inspections have not turned up hazardous or suspicious materials.
Such threats are not new, but the latest incidents come at a time of increased geopolitical tensions and other disruptions, including attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems, drone incursions in Europe and mysterious triggers to alert apps. Authorities have warned that hybrid threats abound.
A flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to a military air base in western France because of a bomb threat, the French prime minister’s office said. The flight landed safely at the base in Evreux in Normandy, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s office said.
All 151 passengers and six crew members were safe and military bomb disposal teams were examining the plane, the office said. The passengers aboard the Aer Lingus Dublin-Rome flight were questioned and checked in groups of 10 inside the airport, the prime minister's office said.
Hours later, the plane was sitting on the tarmac with a Red Cross vehicle nearby and explosives experts with dogs seen examining the aircraft.
Italian authorities alerted France’s government to the bomb threat on the Aer Lingus flight, and a French warplane escorted it to the Evreux base, the prime minister’s office said. An investigation was opened by French aviation security authorities.
Italian air force fighter jets escorted a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Rome after an email threat was received, according to an airport official with knowledge of the situation. It landed safely at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport at around 9:30 a.m., and no explosive materials were found during an inspection y police bomb disposal experts, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
Finnair said that two of its flights, including the one that landed in Rome, “faced unfounded hoax bomb scares." Nothing was found aboard Finnair AY1761, and the plane was scheduled to depart for Helsinki.
The other flight, operated by Jettime, from Helsinki to Vienna landed safely at its destination, and was expected to return to service after an inspection was completed, Finnair said.
Czech police said searches of four other planes that landed in Prague after being targeted by bomb threats turned up no threats. They did not give details on where the flights originated, and said they took precautions despite not finding the threats credible.
A LOT Polish Airlines flight from Warsaw to Brussels landed at its destination, where inspections found no hazardous or suspicious items, the airline said.
A Wizz Air flight from Milan to Bucharest landed safely in Bucharest following a bomb threat, airport spokesman Teo Postelnicu said. Checks turned up no threat, and air traffic was continuing on schedule.
A flight to Warsaw landed in Vienna following a mail to Polish authorities containing an abstract threat, said Stefan Loidl, a police spokesperson in Lower Austria province. Nothing was found and the plane continued to Warsaw.
He said there was also a vague threat to Vienna Airport concerning four other flights, which he declined to identify, but operations were not disrupted.
Polish authorities checked a LOT flight that was about to depart from Warsaw to Paris on Thursday morning after a threat was reported at Warsaw’s Chopin Airport, said airport spokesman Piotr Rudzki. No threat was ultimately identified. One runway at Chopin airport was temporarily closed while authorities carried out standard security procedures.
Three Ryanair flights bound for Sofia, Bulgaria, had to make emergency landings because of bomb threats on board. Two of the flights, one from Copenhagen, Denmark, and the other from Madrid, landed safely at Sofia’s Vasil Levski Airport, airport officials told reporters. The third Sofia-bound flight, from London’s Stansted Airport to Sofia, had been diverted and landed safely at the airport in Plovdiv, Bulgaria’s second-largest city, Plovdiv Airport CEO Krassimir Peshev said.
The three planes that made an emergency landing in Sofia and Plovdiv were escorted by fighter jets on air policing duty, the Ministry of Defense said.
Several flights across Europe received hoax bomb threats earlier this week that prompted searches, diversions and, in one case, an escort by the Italian air force until landing, officials said.
The flights included Polish airline LOT, Scandinavian Airlines, Wizz Air and Ryanair. The hoax threats came after a plane headed for Bulgaria was diverted to Hungary after receiving a similar bomb threat while in the air. No one was injured.
