A-2 Communications Response Time
The table below lists the communications response time.
CJ1W-NCx82 Master
* Due to the characteristics of EtherCAT, the result will become the same with any node as long as the
communication cycle is the same.
NJ501-1x00 Master
* Due to the characteristics of EtherCAT, the result will become the same with any node as long as the
communication cycle is the same.
