NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Unit User's Manual (W519)
Description
This function synchronizes the project data
(which includes the configuration information for
the EtherCAT Coupler Unit and the NX Units)
between the Sysmac Studio and the Controller.
This function saves and restores all of the set-
tings in the EtherCAT Slave Terminal.
This function refreshes specific bits with forced
values.
This function is used to change the values of
variables that are used in the user program and
settings, and the TRUE/FALSE value of input
bits and output bits.
This function displays the values of the inputs
and outputs.
This function compares and matches the actual
configuration with the network configuration in
the project.
This function restricts write operations to the
EtherCAT Coupler Unit and NX Units to users
that have the proper authority.
This function verifies the EtherCAT network con-
figuration based on serial numbers.
