Additional Information
ESI file versions that are lower than ESI version-1.0.1 specifications are not supported. If you
install an ESI file version that is not supported, a message saying that you cannot use the slave
is displayed by the Sysmac Studio.
The NJ/NX-series CPU Units do not support variables with some of the data types that are de-
fined in ETG.1020. If variables with any unsupported data types are included in the slave infor-
mation (ESI), you cannot use the slave.
The following table gives the data types that are supported by different Sysmac Studio versions.

With Sysmac Studio version 1.06, 1.07, or 1.08, you can read ESI files and assign device variables.
However, you cannot monitor them in the I/O Map.
If variables with any of these data types are included in the slave information (ESI), a message
saying that you cannot use the slave is displayed in the
ESI Library
Dialog Box of the Sysmac
Studio.

Connecting Slaves from Other Manufacturers to an OMRON
Master
You can install the ESI file for a slave from another manufacturer in the Sysmac Studio to handle the
slave in the same way as an OMRON slave. (Only the ESI files for OMRON slaves for which connect-
ability has been confirmed are installed in the Sysmac Studio in advance.)
When connecting a slave from another manufacturer to an OMRON master, refer to the manuals for
the other manufacturer's slaves, and then ask your OMRON representative if you have any questions.
Additional Information
EtherCAT setup software that is provided by other manufacturers cannot be connected to
NJ/NX-series CPU Units.
