Versions
Hardware revisions and unit versions are used to manage the hardware and software in NY-series
Controllers and EtherCAT slaves. The hardware revision or unit version is updated each time there is
a change in hardware or software specifications. Even when two Units or EtherCAT slaves have the
same model number, they will have functional or performance differences if they have different hard-
ware revisions or unit versions.
Checking Versions
You can check versions on the ID information indications or with the Sysmac Studio.
Checking Unit Versions on ID Information Indications
