7-3 Connecting USB Cable
The EtherCAT Coupler Unit can be connected directly to a computer in which the Sysmac Studio is
installed through a USB cable.
Use a commercially available USB cable to connect the computer in which the Sysmac Studio is
installed to the peripheral USB port on the EtherCAT Coupler Unit.
Use the following cable to connect the EtherCAT Coupler Unit and the computer in which the Sysmac
Studio is installed.
To connect the EtherCAT Coupler Unit to a computer with USB, you must first install a USB driver in the
computer.
When you install the Sysmac Studio, a USB driver for a USB connection will be automatically installed
in the computer.
When you turn ON the Unit power supply to the EtherCAT Slave Terminal and connect the EtherCAT
Coupler Unit and computer with a USB cable, the computer will automatically recognize the device and
start installing the USB driver.
Refer to the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504-E1-07 or later) for the installa-
tion procedure for the USB driver.
