NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (W501)
*1 Execution objects and variable tables (including variable names)
*2 Does not include Holding, DM, and EM Area memory for CJ-series Units.
*3 Does not include CIO and Work Area memory for CJ-series Units.
*4 This is the total for all axis types.
*5 This is the total number of axes that are set as servo axes or encoder axes and are also set as used axes.
*6 Data will be refreshed at the set interval, regardless of the number of nodes.
*7 “pps” means packets per second, i.e., the number of communications packets that can be sent or received in one second.
*8 As the EtherNet/IP port implements the IGMP client, unnecessary multi-cast packets can be filtered by using an Ethernet switch that
supports IGMP Snooping.
Note Items that are marked with asterisks in the table are improvements that were made during version upgrades. Refer to A-
12 Version Information for information on version upgrades.
