Additional Information

If an ESI file for a slave cannot be used in the Sysmac Studio, an exclamation mark is displayed

to the left of the file name. If an exclamation mark is displayed, obtain an ESI file with the cause

corrected from the slave manufacturer, and then install the ESI file again.
