The Sysmac Studio is used to assign I/O data and set parameters in the IO-
Link Master Unit.
When you use the Sysmac Studio to verify the IO-Link device configuration,
you can also set the IO-Link device configuration.
The Sysmac Studio is used to configure EtherCAT networks and slaves,
and to perform programming, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
This software is used to configure the Slave Terminals and perform trouble-
shooting when an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit is used with a CJ/CP/CS-series
PLC as the controller or with a controller from another company.
This software is used to set IO-Link device parameters and monitor I/O data
(process data).
