Support software CPU Rack (Sysmac Studio) NX-series CPU Unit NX1P2- Connection to built-in EtherNet/IP port Built-in EtherCAT port End Cover NX Units EtherCAT Slave Terminal EtherCAT NX Units EtherCAT Coupler Unit Note: For whether an NX Unit can be connected to the CPU Unit, refer to the version information. Connected to an EtherCAT Coupler Unit The following figure shows an example of the system configuration when an EtherCAT Coupler Unit is used as a Communications Coupler Unit. Support software EtherCAT master *2 (Sysmac Studio) NJ/NX-series CPU Unit, NY-series Industrial PC, or master from another manufacturer Connection to peripheral USB port TM or built-in EtherNet/IP port on CPU Unit or Industrial PC *1 .xml ESI files Built-in EtherCAT port EtherCAT Slave Terminal Support software (Sysmac Studio) Communications cable NX Series Ethernet cables EtherCAT Coupler Unit NX-ECC20 Peripheral USB port. Connection to peripheral USB port on EtherCAT Coupler Unit .xml ESI files End Cover NX Units *1. 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. Note: For whether an NX Unit can be connected to the Communications Coupler Unit, refer to the version information. 2
