Checking for Errors from the Sysmac Studio

When an error occurs, you can place the Sysmac Studio online to the Controller or the Communications
Coupler Unit to check current Controller errors and the log of past Controller errors.
The methods that are used to check errors depend on the Controller you use.

*1. On NX Units that manage their own errors, current errors cannot be checked after a fatal error occurs in that
NX Unit. On NX Units that record their own event logs, the error log cannot be checked after a fatal error occurs
in that NX Unit.
Refer to the NJ-series Troubleshooting Manual (Cat. No. W503) for information on NJ-series error man-
agement methods.
Refer to the NJ-Series Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for details on trou-
bleshooting with the Sysmac Studio.
If you cannot check the error on the Sysmac Studio, check the error by following the flow outlined in 5-6
Troubleshooting Flowchart on page 5-14.
