Precautions for Correct Use
• You can use the priority-5 periodic task only with NX701 CPU Units.
• With an NX701 CPU Unit, you can perform process data communications separately in each
task period of the primary periodic task and the priority-5 periodic task. If these two process
data communications cycles must be distinguished, the cycle for the primary periodic task is
called process data communications cycle 1 and the cycle for the priority-5 periodic task is
called process data communications cycle 2.
• With an NX701 CPU Unit, you can execute motion control in the primary periodic task and in
the priority-5 periodic task. If these two motion controls must be distinguished, the one exe-
cuted by the primary periodic task is called motion control 1 and the other executed by the
priority-5 periodic task is called motion control 2.
• The NX102 and NX1P2 CPU Units and NJ-series CPU Units perform process data communi-
cations only in the primary periodic task.
Relationship Between Process Data Communications Cycle and
Task Setting
The process data communications cycles of the primary periodic task and priority-5 periodic task are
synchronized with the task period of the task to which I/O refreshing is assigned for each EtherCAT
slave.
Assigning I/O refreshing to tasks, setting procedure on Sysmac Studio, and I/O refreshing timing are
shown as follows.
Assigning I/O Refreshing to Tasks
I/O refreshing of the EtherCAT slaves is assigned to the tasks.
