A-3 Specific Values of NX Units for Perfor-
mance Calculation
This section describes the specific values of NX Units used for calculating the I/O response times of NX
Units connected to the CPU Unit and the process data communications performance of EtherCAT
Slave Terminals.
Refer to the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Software User's Manual (Cat. No. W501-E1-16 or later) for details
on the I/O response times of NX Units connected to the CPU Unit.
Refer to the user’s manual for the connected Communications Coupler Unit for details on calculating
the process data communications performance of Slave Terminals.
Refer to the user's manuals for the individual NX Units for further information if specific values for your
NX Units are not provided in this manual. The refreshing methods that you can use depend on the Unit
to which the NX Unit is connected. For available refreshing methods, refer to the user’s manual for the
CPU Unit or Communications Coupler Unit to which the NX Unit is connected.
The following table gives specific values for each element of NX Units that operate with synchronous
I/O refreshing.

*1. Pulse Output Units process status and other input data. Therefore, if there are Pulse Output Units that op-
erate with synchronous I/O refreshing in the configuration, they must be included in the Tmax-InProc cal-
culation regardless of whether the external inputs are used.
