Precautions for Correct Use
• In addition to the Standard Edition, the Sysmac Studio is also available in an NX-IO Edition.
The Standard Edition provides all of the functionality of the Sysmac Studio. The NX-IO Edi-
tion provides only the functionality required to set up EtherNet/IP Slave Terminals.
• The NX-IO Configurator does not support setting up the NX-series safety control system. To
set up the NX-series safety control system, the Sysmac Studio Standard Edition or NX-IO
Edition is required even if the configuration connects to a CS/CJ/CP-series CPU Unit, Sys-
mac Gateway, or PLC from another company.
When you use an NX-series IO-Link Master Unit to connect IO-Link devices, use CX-Configu-
ratorFDT to set the IO-Link devices. For details on CX-ConfiguratorFDT, refer to the IO-Link
System User's Manual (Cat No. W570) or NX-series IO-Link Master Unit User's Manual (Cat
No. W567).
