    Safety Precautions Safety Precautions Definition of Precautionary Information The following notation is used in this manual to provide precautions required to ensure safe usage of the NXR-series IO-Link Master Unit for EtherCAT. The safety precautions that are provided are extremely important to safety. Always read and heed the information provided in all safety precautions.

  • Page 18: Warnings

    Safety Precautions Warnings WARNING During Power Supply Do not touch the terminal section while power is ON. Electric shock may occur. Do not attempt to take any Unit apart. In particular, high-voltage parts are present in Units that supply power while power is supplied or immediately after power is turned OFF.
  • Page 19 Safety Precautions Power Supply Design Follow the instructions in this manual to correctly perform power supply design and wir- ing. Inputting voltages or currents that are outside of the specified ranges, as well as in- correct wiring, may cause failure or fire. Wiring Make sure that the grounds (0 V) of the Unit/input power supply and the output power supply are at the same potential.
  • Page 20 Safety Precautions Data recovery Backup data and keep the data up-to-date periodically to prepare for data loss. When using an intranet environment through a global address, connecting to a SCADA or an unauthorized terminal such as an HMI or to an unauthorized server may result in network security issues such as spoofing and tampering.

  • Page 21: Cautions

    Safety Precautions Cautions Caution Online Editing Execute online editing only after confirming that no adverse effects will be caused by de- viations in the timing of I/O. If you perform online editing, the task execution time may exceed the task period, I/O may not be refreshed with external devices, input signals may not be read, and output timing may change.

  • Page 22: Precautions For Safe Use

    Precautions for Safe Use Precautions for Safe Use Transporting • When transporting any Unit, use the special packing box for it. Also, do not subject the Unit to excessive vibration or shock during transportation. • Do not drop any Unit or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock. Doing so may result in Unit failure or malfunction.
  • Page 23 Precautions for Safe Use • The maximum power supply current is 9 A, which is the sum of the Unit/input power supply current and the output power supply current. Do not use the Unit beyond the maximum power supply current. Otherwise, an excess current flows through the power supply cable, and it may cause fire. •...
  • Page 24 Precautions for Safe Use • EtherCAT communications are not always established immediately after the power supply is turned ON. Use the system-defined variables in the user program to confirm that communications are established before attempting control operations. • If frames sent to EtherCAT slaves are lost due to noise or other causes, slave I/O data is not com- municated, and the intended operation is sometimes not achieved.

    11 Troubleshooting 11-6 Error Notifications Based on the AL Status For an IO-Link Master Unit, the EtherCAT master can detect errors in the Unit with the AL status if an EtherCAT communications error occurs. For an NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-series Industrial PC, a Slave Application Error event (Sysmac event code: 84280000 hex) occurs when an AL status error occurs in the IO-Link Master Unit.

    11 Troubleshooting 11-7 Resetting Errors Current errors in the IO-Link Master Unit are retained, unless you reset them, until you turn OFF the power supply or restart the IO-Link Master Unit. To reset an error, you must remove the cause of the current error. If you reset an error without remov- ing the cause, the same error will occur again.
