The following must be studied when designing the power supply system to the EtherCAT Slave Termi-
nal.
• The NX Unit power supply and I/O power supply systems must be designed and then the design con-
ditions for both must be confirmed.
• The external power supplies (i.e., Unit power supply and I/O power supplies) must be selected.
I/O Power Supply Con-
nection Unit This NX Unit is used when there are not enough I/O power supply terminals for the
connected external devices that are connected to NX Units such as Digital I/O Units
and Analog I/O Units.
* Wire colors have been changed according to revisions in the JIS standards for photoelectric
and proximity sensors. The colors in parentheses are the wire colors prior to the revisions.
