Parameters
EtherCAT Configuration and Setup
You can create a configuration in the Sysmac Studio of the EtherCAT slaves
connected to the built-in EtherCAT port of the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-series
Industrial PC, and set the parameters for the EtherCAT masters and slaves.
All versions
Registering slaves
You can set up devices by dragging slaves from the device list displayed in the
Toolbox Pane to the locations where you want to connect them.
Changing the Coupler
model
You change the model number or unit version of a Coupler Unit. Use this function to
change the model number and version of the Coupler Unit registered in the project
to the new model number and version when replacing a Coupler Unit.
Ver. 1.09 or
higher
Setting master parameters
You set the common parameters of the EtherCAT network (e.g., the fail-soft
operation and wait time for slave startup settings).
All versions
Setting slave parameters You set the standard slave parameters and assign PDOs (process data objects).
Comparing and merging
network configuration
information
The EtherCAT network configuration information in the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or
NY-series Industrial PC and in the Sysmac Studio are compared and the differences
are displayed.
Transferring the network
configuration information
The EtherCAT network configuration information is transferred to the NJ/NX-series
CPU Unit or NY-series Industrial PC. Or, the EtherCAT network configuration
information in the CPU Unit or PC is transferred to the Sysmac Studio and displayed
in the EtherCAT Editor.
Installing ESI files ESI (EtherCAT slave information) files are installed.
EtherCAT Slave Terminal Configuration
and Setup
The configuration of any Slave Terminal that is connected to an EtherCAT network
is created on the Sysmac Studio. The NX Units that compose the Slave Terminal are
set in the configuration.
Ver. 1.06 or
higher
Registering NX Units
A Slave Terminal is built by dragging NX Units from the device list displayed in the
Toolbox to the locations where you want to mount them.
Setting NX Units
The I/O allocations, mounting settings, and Unit operation settings of the NX Units
are edited.
Displaying the width of a
Slave Terminal
configuration
The width of a Slave Terminal is displayed based on the Unit configuration
information.
Comparing and merging the
Slave Terminal
configuration information
When online, you can compare the configuration information in the project with the
physical configuration. You can also select the missing Units and add them to the
project.
Transferring the Slave
Terminal configuration
information
The Unit configuration information is transferred to the CPU Unit or NY-series
Industrial PC using the synchronize function.
CPU/Expansion Rack Configuration and
Setup
You create the configuration in the Sysmac Studio of the Units mounted in the CPU
Rack and Expansion Racks of NJ-series and NX1P2 CPU Units and set the Special
Units.
All versions
Registering Units
A Rack is built by dragging Units from the device list displayed in the Toolbox Pane
to the locations where you want to mount them.
Creating Racks An Expansion Rack (Power Supply Unit, I/O Interface Unit, and End Cover) is added.
Switching Unit displays
For NJ-series CPU Units, model numbers, unit numbers, and slot numbers are
displayed.
For NX1P2 CPU Units, model numbers and unit numbers are displayed. *1
Setting Special Units
The input time constants are set for Input Units and parameters are set for Special
Units.
Displaying Rack widths,
current consumption, and
power consumption
For NJ-series CPU Units, rack width, current consumption, and power consumption
are displayed based on the Unit configuration information.
For NX1P2 CPU Units, rack width is displayed based on the Unit configuration
information. *1
Comparing the CPU/
Expansion Rack configuration
information with the physical
configuration
When online, you can compare the configuration information in the project with the
physical configuration. You can also select the missing Units and add them.
Transferring the CPU/
Expansion Rack
configuration information
The Unit configuration information is transferred using the synchronization function.
Printing the Unit
configuration information
The Unit configuration information is printed.
