NX-series EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit User’s Manual (W536)

The scope of access from the Sysmac Studio when it is connected to the USB port on the EtherNet/IP

The scope of access from the Support Software when it is connected to the USB port on the Ether-

Net/IP Coupler Unit is limited to the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal at the connection. Support Software

cannot access any Units that are not at the connection (such as other EtherNet/IP slaves, or other Eth-

erNet/IP Slave Terminals).
