1-4-1 Relationship between Units and Types of Communications
The following table summarizes the relationship described above.
 Relationship between Master and Slaves during Safety Process Data Commu-
nications
The following figure shows the safety master/slave relationship during safety process data commu-
nications.
The Safety CPU Unit performs safety process data communications with the Safety I/O Units on the
same Slave Terminal, or the Safety I/O Units on another Slave Terminal on the EtherCAT network.
In this relationship, the Safety CPU Unit operates as the master in the safety process data commu-
nications. Meanwhile, the Safety I/O Units operate as slaves in the safety process data communica-
tions.
