6-1-5 I/O Operations for Major Fault Level Controller Errors and I/O Refreshing with Specified
Values
*1 If multiple tasks are assigned, the longest task period is used for calculation.
*2 The Slave Sync Manager WDT error detection time is the time from when the last process data is received
until a reception error is detected.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
You cannot obtain current errors from slaves after a major fault occurs except for those in Ether-
CAT Slave Terminals.
When a major fault level Controller error occurs, the related system-defined variables have the
following values.
For NX701 CPU Units
_EC_InData1Invalid = TRUE
_EC_InData2Invalid = TRUE
_EC_PDSlavTbl[] = FALSE
_EC_MBXSlavTbl[] = Values before operation stopped
For NX102 and NX1P2 CPU Units and NJ-series CPU Units
_EC_InDataInvalid = TRUE
_EC_PDSlavTbl[] = FALSE
_EC_MBXSlavTbl[] = Values before operation stopped
