5 I/O Refreshing
5 - 4
NX-series Digital I/O Unit User’s Manual (W521)
The I/O refreshing method between the EtherCAT Coupler Unit and each NX Unit is determined by
whether the distributed clock is enabled or disabled in the EtherCAT Coupler Unit.
Additional Information
The EtherCAT Slave Terminals with enabled distributed clocks and all EtherCAT slaves that
support DC synchronization execute I/O processing based on Sync0 that is shared on the
EtherCAT network. However, since the specifications and performance for the timing to read
inputs or to refresh outputs for EtherCAT slaves and NX Units are different, the timing to read
inputs or to refresh outputs is not simultaneous.
Refer to the manuals for the EtherCAT slaves for information on the timing to read inputs or to
refresh outputs in EtherCAT slaves.
The I/O refreshing methods that you can use depend on the model of the NX Unit. After you decide on
which I/O refreshing method to use, select the NX Units.
