Description
With this I/O refreshing method, the refresh cycle of the NX
bus and the I/O refresh cycles of the NX Units are asynchro-
nous.
With this I/O refreshing method, the timing to read inputs or to
refresh outputs is synchronized on a fixed interval between
more than one NX Unit connected to a CPU Unit.
In addition, with this I/O refreshing method, the timing to read
inputs or to refresh outputs is synchronized on a fixed interval
between more than one NX Unit on more than one Slave Ter-
minal.
With this I/O refreshing method, the NX Units record the DC
times when inputs change or perform outputs at specified DC
times. These times are not synchronized to the NX bus refresh
cycles.
Data exchange between the NX Units and the CPU Unit and
data exchange between the NX Units and the EtherCAT Cou-
pler Unit are performed cyclically on the NX bus refresh
cycles.
With this I/O refreshing method, the Output Units refresh out-
puts at specified DC times.
A function that performs the preset output operation when the
Digital Output Unit cannot receive output data due to an NX
bus error or CPU Unit watchdog timer error, in the case of
Units connected to a CPU Unit.
A function that performs the preset output operation when the
Digital Output Unit cannot receive output data due to a host
error on the Communications Coupler Unit or an error on the
NX bus, in the case of Slave Terminals.
A function in which the output will turn OFF to protect the out-
put circuit when an overload or load short-circuit occurs due to
a failure of the connected external devices.
