Mounting and Setting
Devices and Hardware
•
Use the hardware switches on all of the Ether-
CAT slaves in the network to set the node ad-
dresses. (The starting node address and se-
quence are not specified.) Refer to relevant
manuals for each slave for information on the
procedure for setting node addresses.
Note
Use the Sysmac Studio to set the node ad-
dress if there are no hardware switches or
the node address is beyond the range that
can be set with the hardware switches.
•
Connect the EtherCAT slaves and external I/O
devices.

Laying EtherCAT Com-
munications Cables
Connect the EtherCAT slaves to the EtherCAT
port of the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit.
If there is more than one EtherCAT slave, connect
them using a daisy chain/line topology, branching
topology, or ring topology.

Creating the EtherCAT
Network Configuration
•
Use the Sysmac Studio to create a new project.
a) Go offline and create the EtherCAT network
configuration.
or
b) Go online and automatically create the
EtherCAT network configuration from the
actual network devices. Do so after making
the online connection that is described in
step 7.
Create the EtherCAT
network configuration
with
EtherCAT
under

Setting EtherCAT Slave
Variables and Axes
All EtherCAT Slaves
Allocate variables to the I/O ports.
•
If necessary, change the names of automatically
generated device variables for each I/O port to
user-defined variable names.
Make the settings with

Set up the axes.
•
Create axes (axes variables).
•
Set the axis types for the Axis Variables (to a
servo axis, virtual axis, etc.), and set the IDs of
the Servo Drives.
Axis Variables are automatically registered in the
global variable table.
