Assigning Device Variables to I/O Ports (PDO Mapping)
When connected to an NJ-series CPU Unit, the data for PDO communications in the Vision Sensor is displayed
with I/O port names on the Sysmac Studio. You can assign device variables to the I/O ports in the Sysmac
Studio I/O map to perform programming and monitoring.
Explorer pane (Connected to NJ-series CPU Unit): [Configurations and Setup] |
[I/O Map] (Double-click)
Right-click a slave or I/O port in the I/O map and select [Create Device Variable]. The device variable name is
automatically created as a combination of the device name and the I/O port name. You can also select an I/O
port and enter a variable name in the [Variable] column.
You can also select a registered variable from the variable table to use as a device variable. Refer to the
Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for details on registering device variables.
