Precautions for Correct Use
Restore the settings to the EtherCAT slave before you connect the EtherCAT slave to restart pro-
cess data communications. Restore the EtherCAT slave settings while the slave is connected to
the network (i.e., whenever the _EC_EntrySlavTbl[] (Network Connected Slave Table) system-
defined variable is TRUE). You must set the node address of the EtherCAT slave before it can
participate in the network.
Additional Information
• You can set the EtherCAT drive slaves from the EtherCAT Drive Tab Page. Restore the set-
tings information from the EtherCAT Drive Tab Page. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Version 1
Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for the applicable EtherCAT drive slaves.
• You do not need to restore the settings to replace an EtherCAT slave that does not have
backup parameters.
