This section describes the Digital Output Unit functions.
Refer to the specifications of each model in A-1 Data Sheet on page A-2 for details on the functions.
7-4-1 List of Digital Output Unit Functions
Function name Description Reference
Free-Run Refreshing With this I/O refreshing method, the refresh cycle of the NX
bus and the I/O refresh cycles of the NX Units are asynchro-
nous. 5-2-4 Free-Run

Synchronous I/O Refresh-
ing With this I/O refreshing method, the timing to read inputs or to
refresh outputs is synchronous on a fixed interval between
more than one NX Unit on more than one Slave Terminal. 5-2-6 Synchro-
nous Output

Time Stamp Refreshing With this I/O refreshing method, the NX Units record the DC
times when inputs change or perform outputs at specified DC
times. These times are asynchronous to the NX bus refresh
cycles.
Data exchange between the NX Units and EtherCAT Coupler
Unit are performed cyclically on the NX bus refresh cycles. 5-2-7 Time Stamp
