Setting Standard Process Data Com-
munications
This section describes procedures for using standard process data communications between a Safety
CPU Unit and standard I/O Units.
5-8-1
Using an CPU Unit or EtherCAT Coupler Unit
For standard process data communications between the Safety CPU Unit and Safety CPU Unit the
standard controller exchanges the data between the Safety CPU Unit and standard I/O Units.
Refer to 5-7 Exposing Variables to Standard Controllers on page 5 - 30 for the procedure to expose
Safety CPU Unit variables to standard controllers.
5-8-2
Using an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit
Communications between NX Units are used for standard process data communications between a
Safety CPU Unit and standard I/O Units. Communications between NX Units are performed by allocat-
ing the data of the standard I/O Units for the exposed variables of the Safety CPU Unit.
Refer to A-13 Units That Support Communications between NX Units on page A - 100 for the models
of the NX Units that you can connect.
Refer to A-12 I/O Response Times for Communications between NX Units on EtherNet/IP Slave Ter-
minals on page A - 98 for the I/O response times between standard I/O Units and a Safety CPU Unit
when using an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit.
Use the following procedure to set up NX Unit communications between a Safety CPU Unit and stand-
ard I/O Units.
1 In the Multiview Explorer, select the target Safety CPU Unit in the Controller Selection Box.
2 Register the exposed variables in the Safety CPU Unit.
Refer to 5-7-2 Setting Exposed V
ariables on page 5 - 31 for information on registering exposed
variables.
Set the data types of the exposed variables to the same data types as the allocated Standard
I/O Unit data.
3 Double-click Standard I/O under Configurations and Setup − Communications − Standard.
The Standard I/O Unit Setting Tab Page is displayed.
The meanings of the items in the Standard I/O Unit Setting Tab Page are given below.
