5-8 Sysmac Device Functions
“Sysmac devices” is the generic name of control component products that were designed with
communications and user interface specifications that are unified for OMRON control components.
This functions of these procedures are called Sysmac device functions.
This section describes functions that are available when you combine NJ/NX-series or other Machine
Automation Controllers with the Automation Software.
Starting with unit version 1.1, the GX-series Digital I/O Slaves, Analog I/O Slaves, and Encoder Input
Slaves are Sysmac devices and support Sysmac device functions.
Starting with unit version 1.0, the GX-series IO-Link Master Unit is a Sysmac device and supports
Sysmac device functions.
 Sysmac error status
Slaves Units that are Sysmac devices systematically handle errors that occur in the Slave Unit. You
can therefore use the Sysmac Studio to check errors and confirm corrections by using the same
procedures for all Sysmac devices.
Errors are reported in 2002 hex-01 hex (Sysmac Error Status). To display errors that are detected by
a Slave Unit on the Sysmac Studio, you must map 2002 hex-01 hex (Sysmac Error Status) to a
PDO. In the Sysmac Studio default settings, 2002 hex-01 hex (Sysmac Error Status) is automatically
mapped to a PDO in the 512th Transmit PDO Mapping (1BFF hex) assignments.
