EtherCAT Network Configuration
By using the EtherCAT master communications port on the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller,
EtherCAT slaves such as servo drives, inverters, machine vision systems, digital and analog I/O,
and other general-purpose slaves can be connected.
The Programmable Multi-Axis Controller also supports EtherCA
T Slave Terminals. The EtherCAT
Slave Terminal helps you to save space and construct flexible systems using a broad range of
types of NX Units.
However, when OMRON NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Units are used for the EtherCAT Slave Ter-
minal, there are restrictions on the models and unit versions of EtherCAT Coupler Units that can be
connected.
Refer to A-2 Restrictions on Using the NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Unit on page A-4 for details.
