Precautions for Correct Use
If you change any of the Line N Data Output Number and User area settings, restart the Con-
troller.
Additional Information
If you use alignment, select the data type of the output data according to the application.
• DINT Data:
This data type holds a single-precision floating-point number.
Coordinate values are multiplied by 1,000 and are output as integers.
Only 1/1,000 of the precision is output.
• LREAL Data:
This data type holds a double-precision floating-point number.
If you use alignment, coordinate values are output as double-precision floating-point num-
bers.
This allows you to output the actual values to an external device.
However, processing 64-bit calculations on the NJ-series Controller or other PLC will be slow-
er than processing 32-bit calculations.
• ByteArray Data:
This is used to output a character string. (Other than characters cannot be output.)
(1) Select Result Data Format on the EtherCAT setting screen in the Sensor Controller of
the FH/FHV series. (Data with Array of Byte format is output to the NJ series Controller.)
(2) Use the AryToString command in the program on the NJ series Controller to convert the
received data with Array of Byte format to String format.
