Offline Debugging of the Sensor Con-
trol Program and Sensor Operation
(Only When Using EtherCA
T Connec-
tion)
In a system built with EtherCAT, you can perform simulation with the sequence control of NJ/NX/NY-
series Controller and operation of FH/FHV image sensor linked.
Therefore, offline debugging for operation up until the output of the result is possible for measurement
or various other processing performed when a measurement trigger or other control signal is input to
the FH/FHV image sensor.
This simulation function is available only in Sysmac Studio (standard edition).
Additional Information
This simulation is supported from the following versions:
• Sysmac Studio (Standard Edition) Ver. 1.08
• FH Software Ver. 5.1

Control Signals Supported with Offline Debugging
The following table shows the operation of each item that is PDO mapped in offline debugging.
Logic simulation is possible for this of
fline debugging. The ON/OFF times of each signal is not the
same as the actual processing times.
