NX-series Position Interface Units User’s Manual (W524)
The following objects are assigned to I/O or used in message communications.
If you assign any of the objects that are described below to I/O, you can no longer access those objects
with the Read NX Unit Object instruction or the Write NX Unit Object instruction.
Refer to the NJ/NX-series Instructions Reference Manual (Cat. No. W502) for information on the Read
NX Unit Object instruction or the Write NX Unit Object instruction.
• The following table shows the bit configuration of the SSI Status object.
The error status in the SSI Status object and the SSI Communications Error Code object are
both set to 0 when the data is received without an error.
