Transferring the Unit Operation Settings

Always confirm safety at the destination node before you transfer Unit configuration
information, parameters, settings, or other data from tools such as the Sysmac Studio.
The devices or machines may operate unexpectedly, regardless of the operating mode
of the Controller.
The Sysmac Studio also supports the ability to transfer only the Unit operation settings for a EtherCAT
Coupler Unit or NX Unit in the EtherCAT Slave Terminal. You can use this function when you need to
send only Unit operation settings.
Use the following procedures to transfer only the Unit operation settings.
1
Place the Sysmac Studio online with the Controller.
2
Click the Edit Unit Operation Settings Button for the Unit to which to transfer the Unit opera-
tion settings.
3
Click the Transfer to Unit Button on the Unit Operation Settings Tab Page.
One of the following messages is displayed depending on whether the Unit needs to be
restarted.
Transfer to NX Unit will be executed. Do you want to continue?
Transfer to NX Unit will be executed. The Unit will be restarted after the completion because
there is a change in the settings that require restarting. I/O communications with the communi-
cations master will be stopped by this operation. Are you sure you want to execute the transfer?
4
Click the Yes Button.
The Unit operation settings are transferred.
Precautions for Correct Use
• If a restart is necessary, the entire Slave Terminal is restarted. The EtherCAT master may
detect an error when the Slave Terminal is restarted after operations are performed with a
direct USB connection between the Sysmac Studio and EtherCAT Coupler Unit. If an error is
detected, you need to reset the error in the EtherCAT master.
Refer to 9-4 Transferring and Comparing Settings on page 9-34 for a transfer method that
does not produce an error on the EtherCAT master.
• When the Slave Terminal is restarted, all of the Units on the Slave Terminal perform the same
operation as when the power supply is cycled. Refer to the manuals for the specific Units for
the operation that is performed when the power supply is turned ON.
