5 Setting Up EtherCAT Communications with the Sysmac Studio

NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Built-in EtherCAT Port User’s Manual (W505)

5-5 Comparing and Merging EtherCAT Network Configurations

5-5-2 Automatically Creating the Network Configuration

Additional Information

• Make sure that the communications cables between the master and slaves are connected cor-

rectly before you perform this operation. The Compare and Merge with Actual Network Config-

uration Dialog Box is not displayed if the connections are not correct.

• The Compare and Merge with Actual Network Configuration Dialog Box is not displayed if

the slave on the actual network configuration has a problem. Refer to When Compare and

Merge with Actual Network Configuration Dialog Box is Not Displayed for actions for such

case.

• The Compare and Merge with Actual Network Configuration Dialog Box is not displayed if an

EtherCAT Frame Not Received error occurs. Remove the cause of the error and perform the

compare and merge operation. Refer to Error Tables in Errors in the EtherCAT Master Func-

tion Module in the NJ/NX-series Troubleshooting Manual (Cat. No. W503-E1-19 or later) for

the cause of the error.

• Even if you have previously set them on the Sysmac Studio, the following configuration and

settings are discarded when you automatically create the network configuration on the Sys-

mac Studio based on the actual network configuration: network configuration, master settings,

and any slave settings (including enable settings, PDO map settings, setting parameter set-

tings, backup parameter settings, device variable assignments in the I/O map, slave assign-

ments to Axes Variables registered in the axis settings, and master settings to control slaves

that are registered in the task setup). To merge the actual network configuration information

without losing the current settings in the Sysmac Studio, use the compare and merge opera-

tion to create the network configuration. Refer to 5-5-1 Comparing and Merging with the Actual

Network Configuration from the Sysmac Studio for information on the operation to compare

and merge with the actual network configuration on the Sysmac Studio.

• When the compare and merge operation is performed, the synchronization between the Sys-

mac Studio and the Controller is lost. Synchronize the Sysmac Studio and Controller before

you perform any online operations for the slaves. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Oper-

ation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for information on synchronization.
