the virtual
equipment
Creating 3D equipment
models
You can create a 3D equipment model at the control target to monitor with the 3D
Motion Monitor function.
All versions
3D Motion Monitor Display
Mode
You set the axis variables for each element of the 3D equipment model, and then set
the 3D equipment into motion according to those axis motions.
Displaying 2D paths You can display the 2D paths of the markers for the projections in the 3D display.
Monitoring
Information
Displaying unit production information
You can display the production information of the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-
series Industrial PC, and Special Units, including the models of the Units and unit
versions.
All versions
Monitoring task execution times
You can monitor the execution time of each task when the user program is executed
on an NJ/NX-series CPU Unit, NY-series Industrial PC, or in the Simulator. When the
Simulator is connected, you can also monitor the real processing time of tasks. This
allows you to perform a Controller performance test.
Troubleshooting
You can use troubleshooting to check the errors that occurred in the Controller,
display corrections for the errors, and clear the errors.
All versions
Controller errors
Any current Controller errors are displayed. (Observations and information are not
displayed.)
User-defined errors Information is displayed on current errors.
Controller event log
You can display a log of Controller events (including Controller errors and Controller
information). (You cannot display logs from EtherCAT slaves.)
User-defined event log
The log of user-defined events that were stored for the Create User-defined Error
(SetAlarm) instruction and the Create User-defined Information (SetInfo) instruction
is displayed.
Event Settings Table
The Event Setting Table is used to register the contents displayed on the Sysmac
Studio and on HMIs for User-defined events that occur for execution of the Create
User-defined Error (SetAlarm) instruction and the Create User-defined Information
(SetInfo) instruction.
User memory usage monitor
The space that is used by the user program that you are editing in the Sysmac Studio
is displayed in relation to the size of memory for the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-
series Industrial PC.
All versions
Setting clock information
You can read and set the clock of NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-series Industrial PC.
The computer's clock information is also displayed.
DB connection function
You can monitor information for the DB connection.
Refer to "Function Specifications of DB Connection Function".

Communi-
cations
Going online with a Controller
An online connection is established with the Controller.
You also can transfer a project from the connected Controller to the computer with a
simple operation without creating a new project or opening an existing project. *6
All versions
Checking for forced refreshing When you go offline, any forced refreshing is cleared.
Synchronize
The data (project file) in the computer is compared with the data in the NJ/NX-series
CPU Unit and NY-series Industrial PC that are connected online, the difference is
displayed in a list, and batch transfer can be performed for the individually-specified
data.
Batch transfer
You transfer data between the computer and NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-series
Industrial PC that are connected online. You can select the same data to transfer as
in the synchronization operation. Unlike the synchronization operation, the data is
transferred in the specified direction without displaying the comparison results.
Ver. 1.09 or higher
Maintenance
Changing the operating mode of the
Controller
There are two operating modes for NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-series Industrial
PC, depending on if control programs are executed or not. These are RUN mode and
PROGRAM mode.
All versions
Resetting the Controller
The operations and status when the power supply to the Controller is cycled are
emulated. This can be performed only in PROGRAM mode. You cannot reset the
Controller in RUN mode.
Clear All Memory
The Clear All Memory Menu command is used to initialize the user program,
Controller Configurations and Setup, and variables in the CPU Unit to the defaults
from the Sysmac Studio.
SD Memory Cards
The following procedures are used to execute file operations for the SD Memory
Card mounted in the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or the virtual SD Memory Card of the
NY-series Industrial PC (hereinafter called SD Memory Card), and to copy files
between the SD Memory Card and computer.
All versions
Formatting the SD Memory Card
The SD Memory Card is formatted.
Displaying properties The properties of the selected file or folder in the SD Memory Card are displayed.
Copying files and folders in
the SD Memory Card
The selected file or folder in the SD Memory Card is copied to the SD Memory Card.
Copying files and folders
between the SD Memory
Card and the computer
The selected file or folder in the SD Memory Card is copied to the computer. Or, the
selected file or folder in the computer is copied to the SD Memory Card.
