Precautions for Correct Use
• Use the following import procedure if you are using an EtherCAT Coupler Unit.
First, import the Slave Terminals that do not contain a Safety CPU Unit and set the device
names and node addresses for exporting.
Then, import the Slave Terminals that contain a Safety CPU Unit and set the device names
and node addresses for exporting.
• If importing data results in two or more Safety CPU Units, an error will occur. Delete the
Safety CPU Units that are not used.
• To reuse safety programs and variable comments, export them from the Safety CPU Unit and
then import them. This data is included in the safety application data for the Safety CPU Unit.
• You cannot import settings data that contains a Safety CPU Unit for which program data pro-
tection is set to Sysmac Studio version 1.16 or lower.
• You cannot import settings data that contains a Safety CPU Unit for which user-defined func-
tion block data protection is set to Sysmac Studio version 1.11 or lower.
