NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Motion Control User’s Manual (W507)
A CPU Unit with unit version 1.05 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.06 or higher are required
to use the NX-series Position Interface Units.
The Position Interface Unit and Sysmac Studio are used for the MC Function Module.
Position Interface Unit
The MC Function Module uses the Position Interface Units to output motor control pulses and read
encoder inputs.
Sysmac Studio
The Sysmac Studio is connected to the built-in EtherNet/IP port on the CPU Unit with an Ethernet
cable.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
Some of the functions of the MC Function Module are different when NX-series Position Inter-
face Units are used. Refer to the NX-series Position Interface Units User’s Manual (Cat. No.
W524) for details.
