Precautions for Correct Use
NX Units should be connected to Slave Terminals. The NX bus connector of the CPU Unit is
provided for future expansion so that it cannot be used to connect any NX Unit.
Additional Information
You can connect the Sysmac Studio directly to the Communications Coupler Unit to set up the
Slave Terminal. Refer to the NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Units User's Manual (Cat. No. W519)
for details.
