Slave Terminal is a generic name for a building-block remote I/O slave that contains a group of NX
Units connected to a Communications Coupler Unit.
The NX Units can be flexibly combined with a Communications Coupler Unit to achieve the optimum
remote I/O slave for the application with less wiring, less work, and less space.
The following figure shows an example of the system configuration when an EtherCAT Coupler Unit is
used as a Communications Coupler Unit.
Refer to the user's manual for the connected Communications Coupler Unit for details on how to config-
ure the system when any other type of Communications Coupler Unit is used.
Letter Item Description
(A) NX-series NX1P2 CPU
Unit This is the central control Unit in the Machine Automation Controller. It exe-
cutes tasks and performs I/O refreshing and other processing for other
Units and slaves. NX Units can be connected to an NX1P2 CPU Unit.
(B) NX Units The NX Units perform I/O processing with connected external devices. NX
Units exchange data with the CPU Unit during I/O refreshing. You can con-
nect up to eight NX Units to an NX1P2 CPU Unit.
IO-Link Master Unit IO-Link devices are connected to screwless clamping terminal blocks.
(C) End Cover The End Cover is attached to the end of the CPU Rack.
(D) Sysmac Studio Support
Software The Sysmac Studio runs on a personal computer and it is used to set up,
program, debug, and troubleshoot NJ/NX/NY-series Controllers.
With an NX1P2 CPU Unit, settings are made with the personal computer
connected to the built-in EtherNet/IP port.
CX-ConfiguratorFDT
Support Software The CX-ConfiguratorFDT is used to set the parameters of the IO-Link
devices.
(E) ESI (EtherCAT Slave
Information) file The ESI file contains information that is unique to the EtherCAT Slave Ter-
minal in XML format. You can load the ESI file into the Sysmac Studio to
easily allocate Slave Terminal process data and configure other settings.
The ESI files for OMRON EtherCAT slaves are already installed in the Sys-
mac Studio. You can obtain the ESI files for the latest models through the
Sysmac Studio’s automatic update function.
IODD (IO Device
Description) files These files contain IO-Link device definitions.
The IODD files for OMRON’s IO-Link devices are automatically installed
when you install CX-ConfiguratorFDT. If you use IO-Link devices from
another company, you must install the IODD files for the IO-Link devices of
that company in CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
