OMRON defines component error status as Sysmac errors for the entire Sys-
mac Series.
You can use Sysmac errors to display errors that occur in slaves on the Sys-
mac Studio together with corrections for the errors.
An optional feature in the version-1.0.1 ESI specifications is used to enable
backing up and restoring slave parameters (called backup parameters).
The node address setting for each slave is stored in non-volatile memory
within the slave.
You can verify the EtherCAT network configuration based on serial numbers.
