All axes stop. (The stop
method depends on the
error.)
All axes stop. (The
stop method depends
on the error.)
• The affected
axes/axes group
stops. (The stop
method depends on
the settings.)

cuted (for instructions
related to axis opera-
tion.)

related to axis
operation).
EtherCAT Master
Function Module
I/O refreshing for EtherCAT
communications stops. (The
slaves operate according to
the settings in the slaves.)
EtherCAT communi-
cations stop. (The
slaves operate
according to the set-
tings in the slaves.)
I/O refreshing for Ether-
CAT communications
stops or continues
according to the fail-soft
operation settings in the
master. (If I/O refreshing
stops, the slaves oper-
ate according to the set-
tings in the slaves.)

EtherCAT commu-
nications contin-
ues.
EtherNet/IP Func-
tion Module
Part of the EtherNet/IP
communications stop.
(Online connections to the
Sysmac Studio and commu-
nications connections with
NS-series PTs are possible.
(Output (produce) tags in
the tag data links operate
according to the tag set set-
tings.)
EtherNet/IP commu-
nications stop. (A
software connection
from the Sysmac Stu-
dio or an NS-series
PT is not possible.)
Part of the EtherNet/IP
communications stop.
(A software connection
from the Sysmac Studio
or an NS-series PT is
possible if the communi-
cations connection is
not the cause of the
error.)
