Tasks to which assignment is possible and unit of assignment are different depending on the I/O
refreshing target. Unit of assignment refers to a target or a group of targets for I/O refreshing that
can be assigned to one I/O controlling task. For example, when the unit of assignment is Slave Ter-
minal, you can assign I/O refreshing to only one task even if more than one NX Unit is connected to
a Communications Coupler Unit.
The following table shows the relationship among the I/O refreshing target, the assignable task,
and the unit of assignment.

You can use the priority-5 periodic task only with NX701 CPU Units.
Sysmac Studio Setting Procedure
For the slaves and Units that are not assigned to axes, set the tasks in which to perform I/O re-
freshing in
I/O Control Task Settings
under
Configuration and Setup
-
Task Settings
of the Sys-
mac Studio.
Refer to the
NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Software User's Manual (Cat. No. W501)
for details.
For the slaves and Units that are assigned to axes, specify the motion controls to use in
Motion
Control Setup
under
Confugurations and Setup
of the Sysmac Studio. The tasks to perform I/O
refreshing are set.
Refer to the
NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Motion Control User’s Manual (Cat. No. W507)
for details.
Timing of I/O Refreshing
The table below shows when I/O is refreshed for each type of EtherCAT slaves.
Task that controls I/O
Execution period of I/O refreshing
Primary periodic task
Task period of the primary periodic task
Task period of the priority-5 periodic task
Priority-16 periodic task
Task period of the primary periodic task
*1.
Refer to relevant manuals for each slave to check if the I/O refreshing period agrees with the communi-
cations cycle supported with the slave. An error occurs if you use the Sysmac Studio to set the I/O re-
freshing timing to a communications cycle that is not supported with the slave. The error occurs only with
the OMRON synced slaves.
*2.
You can use the priority-5 periodic task only with NX701 CPU Units.
*3.
EtherCAT communications is executed during I/O refreshing in the primary periodic task. If the priority-16
periodic task is used to control EtherCAT slaves, data will be refreshed by I/O refreshing in the task peri-
od of the priority-16 periodic task.
Relationship between tasks to execute I/O refreshing, process data communications cycle, and
motion control is shown as follows.
