1-1-2 Introduction to the System Configurations
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.
Network Configurations
• Host computers, HMIs, and other NJ-series Controllers are connected to the built-in EtherNet/IP
port on the CPU Unit or to a CJ1W-EIP21 EtherNet/IP Unit.
• A DeviceNet network is connected to a DeviceNet Unit. A serial communications network is con-
nected to a Serial Communications Unit.
