5-4-2 Setting EtherCAT Slaves
*1 Displayed only with the NX-series CPU Unit.
*2 Refer to 1-3-1 Performance Specifications for the settable node address range.
*3 Network errors do not occur even if disabled slaves are not present on the EtherCAT network. You can
use them to prepare for future system expansions or to operate without them for the current system.
You can execute a special instruction to enable a disabled slave during system operation. You can also
execute the special instruction to disable a slave during system operation.
*4 With the NJ-series CPU Unit, if you configure the system to connect the EtherCAT Junction Slave and
to synchronize the slaves that have an enabled distributed clock, there must be a slave that provides a
reference clock between the Master and the first EtherCAT Junction Slave. Or, the first EtherCAT Junc-
tion Slave must provide a reference clock.
A CPU Unit with unit version 1.04 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.05 or higher are required
to disable EtherCAT slaves with the special instruction.
Reference Clock Not
