sors
*1 Shows whether or not the slave provides a reference clock. A slave or a master that provides a reference clock is
required for a system configuration that enables synchronization between slaves based on a distributed clock (DC). When
you connect a slave that supports the reference clock, you must meet some conditions. Refer to 4-1-1 Supported Network
Topologies for detail on the conditions.
*2 A CPU Unit with unit version 1.05 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.06 or higher are required.
*3 A CPU Unit with unit version 1.07 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.08 or higher are required.
*4 A CPU Unit with unit version 1.07 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.11 or higher are required.
EtherCAT Junction Slave
This is a special Unit for branching EtherCAT network wiring. Cascade connections are possible
within the range of node addresses that the EtherCAT master can handle.
Each Junction Slave has one input port and more than one output port. The output ports on each
Junction Slave can be connected to another Junction Slave or other EtherCAT slaves.
The Junction Slave supports the reference clock that is required for a system configuration that
enables synchronization between slaves based on a distributed clock (DC).
The following models are examples of some of the OMRON EtherCAT slaves.

Precautions for Safe Use
You cannot use standard Ethernet hubs or repeater hubs with EtherCAT communications. If you
use one of these, a major fault level error or other error may occur.
