Offline Debugging of the Sensor Control Program and Sensor Operation
If an EtherCAT system is configured, you can perform a linked simulation between the sequence control of an
NX/NJ-series Controller and the operation of an ZW Sensor.
The sensor control program can be debugged offline using measurement results saved by the data trace
fu
nction
.
Simulation is possible only on the Standard Edition of the Sysmac Studio.
Registering the ZW as an EtherCAT Slave
You use the Sysmac Studio (Standard Edition) to add the ZW to the EtherCAT slave configuration.
Refer to the Sysmac St
udio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for details on registering slaves.
Only simplified procedures are provided here.
• Opening the Edit EtherCAT Configuration Tab Page

Use either of the following methods to add an ZW slave to the master.
• Drag [ZW-C7000

] from the [Toolbox] to the master in the Edit Network Configuration Tab Page, and then
drop or double-click.
Sensor measurement and other operation cannot be simulated. The measurement result
acquired previously by the
data trace function is output.
