Description
• Up to 63 NX-IO Units can be connected to one EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit. Standard and high-performance units can be mixed.*
• Each Coupler plus its I/O form just a single EtherCAT node on the network.
• I/O control and safety control can be integrated by connecting Units for safety.
• The IP address can be found on the label on the Unit, without using software.
• Slave configuration by Sysmac Studio can be done centrally via the controller, or on-the-spot using the Coupler’s built-in USB port.
* Input per Coupler Unit: Maximum 504 bytes, Output per Coupler Unit: Maximum 504 bytes

*2. With the Sysmac Studio Standard Edition with license(s) (SYSMAC-SE[][][]L) version 1.10 or higher, you can use the
setup functions for the EtherNet/IP Coupler.
Connecting Cable
Peripheral (USB) Port
Use a commercially available USB-certified cable.
Specifications: USB 1.1 or 2.0 cable (A connector – B connector), 5.0 m max.
Recommended EtherNet/IP Communications Cables
For EtherNet/IP, required specification for the communications cables varies depending on the baud rate. For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher. For 1000BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP cable of category 5e or higher with double shielding (aluminum tape and braiding).
