Precautions for Safe Use
NX-series Digital I/O Unit User’s Manual (W521)
• Before you start operation, always register the NX Units that are connected to the Communications
Coupler Unit in the host communications master as the Unit Configuration Information.
• Check the user program, data, and parameter settings for proper execution before you use them for
actual operation.
• If you change the fail-soft operation setting, the output status when the error occurs may also change.
Confirm safety before you change the fail-soft operation setting.
• If you use fail-soft operation, write programming to determine whether Unit I/O data is valid. Without
such programming, the user program cannot distinguish between Units for which I/O refreshing is
continued and Units for which I/O refreshing is stopped.
• Do not disconnect the cable or turn OFF the power supply to the Controller or a Slave Terminal when
downloading data or the user program from Sysmac Studio.
• Always turn OFF the external power supply to the Units before attempting any of the following.
Mounting or removing an NX Unit, Communications Coupler Unit, or CPU Unit
Assembling Units
Setting DIP switches or rotary switches
Connecting or wiring cables
Attaching or removing terminal blocks or connectors
Units that supply power continue to supply power to the Units for up to several seconds after the
power supply is turned OFF. The PWR indicator remains lit as long as power is supplied. Confirm that
the PWR indicator is not lit before you perform any of the above.
• Confirm that the controlled system will not be adversely affected before you perform any of the fol-
lowing operations.
Changing the operating mode of the CPU Unit (including changing the setting of the Operating
Mode at Startup)
Changing the user program or settings
Changing set values or present values
Forced refreshing
• Always sufficiently check the safety at the connected devices before you change the settings of an
EtherCAT slave or Special Unit.
• Do not exceed the ranges that are given in the specifications for the communications distance and
number of connected Units.
• Make sure that the communications distance, number of nodes connected, and method of connec-
tion for EtherCAT are within specifications.
Do not connect EtherCAT Coupler Units to EtherNet/IP, a standard in-house LAN, or other networks.
An overload may cause the network to fail or malfunction.
• Malfunctions or unexpected operation may occur for some combinations of EtherCAT revisions of the
master and slaves. If you disable the revision check in the network settings, check the slave revision
settings in the master and the actual slave revisions, and then make sure that functionality is compat-
ible in the manuals or other references. You can check the slave versions in the settings from the
