A-7 Version Information with Communica-
tions Coupler Units
This section provides version-related information when connecting Units to a Communications Coupler
Unit. The High-speed Analog Input Units can be connected only to an EtherCAT Coupler Unit.
A-7-1
Connection to an EtherCAT Coupler Unit
This section describes the relationship between the unit versions of each Unit, EtherCAT Coupler Unit,
CPU Unit and Industrial PC, versions of the Sysmac Studio, and the specification changes for each
unit version.
Relationship between Unit Versions of Units
The items that are used in the version combination table are given below.
NX Unit
Corresponding unit versions/versions
Model
Unit version
EtherCAT Coupler
Unit
CPU Unit or Indus-
trial PC
Sysmac Studio
Model numbers of
NX Units.
Unit versions of NX
Units.
Unit versions of
EtherCAT Coupler
Units that are com-
patible with the NX
Units.
Unit versions of
NJ/NX-series CPU
Units or NY-series
Industrial PCs that
are compatible with
the EtherCAT Cou-
pler Units.
Sysmac Studio ver-
sions that are com-
patible with the NX
Units, EtherCAT
Coupler Units, CPU
Units, and Industrial
PCs.
The version combination table is given below.
• With the combinations of the unit versions/versions shown below, you can use the functions that are
supported by the unit version of the Unit model. Use the unit versions/versions (or the later/higher
unit versions/versions) that correspond to the NX Unit models and the unit versions. You cannot use
the specifications that were added or changed for the relevant NX Unit models and the unit versions
unless you use the corresponding unit versions/versions.
• Depending on the type and model of the Unit to which the NX Unit is connected, some Units do not
have the corresponding versions given in the table. If a Unit does not have the specified version,
support is provided by the oldest available version after the specified version. Refer to the user’s
manuals for the specific Units for the relation between models and versions.
• You cannot connect the relevant NX Unit to the target Communications Coupler Unit if "---" is shown
in the corresponding unit versions/versions column.
• If you use the corresponding unit versions/versions given in the following table or later/higher ver-
sions, refer to the version information in the user’s manual for the Communications Coupler Unit,
CPU Unit, and Industrial PC.
