1 Overview of Errors
Level of current event
Minor fault level
Operation continues.
Operation continues. If
an NX Unit error occurs,
operation depends on
the fail-soft operation
settings.
• The affected
axes/axes group
stops. (The stop
method depends on
the settings.)
• The motion control
instruction is not exe-
cuted (for instructions
related to axis opera-
tion.)
I/O refreshing for Ether-
CAT communications
stops or continues
according to the fail-soft
operation settings in the
master. (If I/O refreshing
stops, the slaves oper-
ate according to the set-
tings in the slaves.)
Part of EtherNet/IP com-
munications stop.
(Online connections to
the Sysmac Studio and
communications con-
nections with an HMI is
possible if the online
connections or commu-
nications connection is
not the cause of the
error.)
