NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Unit NX-ECC CSM NX-ECC DS E 8 9 Combine flexibility in Remote I/O configuration with the speed and determinism of EtherCAT. The EtherCAT Coupler Unit is the link between the EtherCAT Machine Control network and the NX-series I/O Units. With I/O Units ranging from basic I/O s to high-speed synchronous models, the NX-series is the perfect match for the Sysmac Machine Automation Controllers. Features *1 Up to 63 NX-IO Units can be connected to one EtherCAT Coupler Unit. Standard and high-performance units can be mixed. *2 High-speed remote I/O control is possible at the fastest communication cycle of 125 s. Each Coupler plus its I/O form just a single EtherCAT node on the network. I/O control and safety control can be integrated by connecting Units for safety. The Coupler supports the EtherCAT Distributed Clock (DC) and propagates this to synchronous I/O units. The node address can be fixed by rotary switches, or set by software. Choose the method that best suits your way of engineering. Slave configuration by Sysmac Studio can be done centrally via the controller, or on-the-spot using the Coupler s built-in USB port. *1 Input per Coupler Unit: Maximum 1024 bytes, Output per Coupler Unit: Maximum 1024 bytes *2 NX7- and NX-ECC203 combined Sysmac is a trademark or registered trademark of OMRON Corporation in Japan and other countries for OMRON factory automation products.

The connection method for the Sysmac Studio depends on the model of the CPU Unit or Industrial PC. *2. An EtherCAT Slave Terminal cannot be connected to any of the OMRON CJ1W-NC 81/ 82 Position Control Units even though they can operate as EtherCAT masters. *3. For whether NX Units can be connected to the CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit to be used, refer to the user s manual for the CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit to be used. 2
