Precautions for Correct Use
Always use separate power supplies for the Unit power supply and the I/O power supply. If you
supply power from the same power supply, noise may cause malfunctions.
The EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit supplies the NX Unit power and I/O power to the NX Units in the Slave
Terminal. The Units that are related to power supply for the NX Series other than the EtherNet/IP Cou-
pler Unit are listed in the following table.
For the specifications of NX-series power supply-related Units, refer to the NX-series System Units
User’s Manual (Cat. No. W523). For information on the most recent lineup of NX Series power sup-
ply-related Units, refer to NX-series catalogs or OMRON websites, or ask your OMRON representative.

Additional NX Unit Power
Supply Unit
This NX Unit provides NX Unit power supply.
This NX Unit is used when the total power consumption of the NX Units in the Slave
Terminal exceeds the NX Unit power supply capacity of the EtherNet/IP Coupler
Unit.
The I/O power supply for the Additional NX Unit Power Supply Unit is connected to
the NX Unit on the left through the NX bus connector.
