11-7 Restarting
This section describes restarting an EtherCAT Slave Terminal.
The restart function is used to apply changes to settings with the Sysmac Studio or by executing
instructions without cycling the Unit power supply to the EtherCAT Slave Terminal.
The EtherCAT Coupler Unit and all NX Units mounted to the Slave Terminal are restarted.
Select the EtherCAT Coupler Unit of the EtherCAT Slave Terminal to restart and then execute the
restart.
The methods for restarting are listed below.
• Commands to restart NX Units from the Sysmac Studio.
• Restart NX Unit (RestartNXUnit) instruction
To restart NX Units from the Sysmac Studio, the NJ-series CPU Unit must be in PROGRAM mode.
Refer to the NJ-series Instructions Reference Manual (Cat. No. W502-E1-07 or later) for details on the
RestartNXUnit instruction.
Precautions for Correct Use
When the Slave Terminal is restarted, all of the Units on the Slave terminal perform the same
operation as when the power supply is cycled. Refer to the manuals for the specific Units for
the operation that is performed when the power supply is turned ON.
