Sysmac Device Features
The control device product designed according to standardized communications and user interface
specifications for OMRON control devices are called a Sysmac Device.
And the features available with such a Device is called Sysmac Device Features.
A-1-1
Sysmac Error Status
Because, in Sysmac Devices, errors that may occur in slaves are systematized, you can check the
causes and remedies for errors with a common procedure.
The status of an error can be monitored in the Sysmac Error Status (2002-01 hex). To display the error
status detected by the FH series Vision Sensor in Sysmac Studio, the Sysmac Error Status (2002-01
hex) must be mapped to the PDO. Sysmac Studio, by default, uses the 512th transmit PDO Mapping
assignment to map the Sysmac Error Status (2002-01 hex) automatically to the PDO.
Additional Information
• For the Sysmac Error status (2002-01 hex), refer to Vision System FH/FHV Series User's
Manual for Communications Settings (Cat. No. Z342).
• For errors displayed in Sysmac Studio, refer to NJ/NX-series Troubleshooting Manual (Cat.
No. W503).

Saving the Node Address Setting
When the node address switch setting is 00 (Software Setup mode), the node address value you set
in Sysmac Studio is enabled. If the node address switches are set to any other value, the value that is
set on the switches is used as the node address.
In the Software Setup mode, in Sysmac Studio, execute Write Slave Node Address on the EtherCAT
Edit screen to save the slave node address setting in the nonvolatile memory of the FH series Vision
Sensor.
Software Setting
The set value saved as Slave Information Interface (SII) information in the nonvolatile memory of the
slave is the node address.

Nonvolatile
memory
(1) The Node Address Switch is set to "00" at
power OFF.
(2) Write a node address set value to Slave SII
from the master.
(3) The value of the node address setting is applied
to Register: 0012 hex by the software, when the
slave power is ON.
(4) EtherCAT master reads the set value of
Register: 0012 hex.
(5) EtherCAT master writes the value of 0012 hex
address to 0010 hex address as the node
address value.
