Overview of Function

You can use this function to register NX Units that will be added to at a later time in the Unit configura-
tion information as unmounted Units. With this function, you can create the program in advance for NX
Units that are not mounted to the actual configuration.
You can use this function even if a specific Unit is temporarily unavailable such as when commission-
ing the system.
• I/O memory area is reserved for these unmounted NX Units in the same way that it is reserved for
NX Units that are mounted to the actual configuration.
• Unmounted NX Units are also assigned NX Unit numbers. This prevents the NX Unit numbers of
other NX Units on the Communication Control Unit from changing when you change the setting of
an NX Unit that is not mounted to the setting of an NX Unit that is mounted to the actual configura-
tion.
