6-4 Offline Debugging of the Sensor Control Program and Sensor Operation
If an EtherCAT system is configured, you can perform a linked simulation between the sequence control of an
NX/NJ-series Controller and the operation of an ZW Sensor.
The sensor control program can be debugged offline using measurement results saved by the data trace
function.
Simulation is possible only on the Standard Edition of the Sysmac Studio.
Registering the ZW as an EtherCAT Slave
You use the Sysmac Studio (Standard Edition) to add the ZW to the EtherCAT slave configuration.
Refer to the Sysmac St u dio Version 1 Operation Man u al (Cat. No. W504) for details on registering slaves.
Only simplified procedures are provided here.

Sensor measurement and other operation cannot be simulated. The measurement result acquired previously by the
data trace function is output.
