When you set up the Safety System configuration on the Sysmac Studio, you automatically achieve
safety process data communications (Safety over EtherCAT) on any EtherCA
T network that was in-
stalled for standard process data communications.
Safety Control System on EtherNet/IP Network
You can build a safety control system which performs CIP Safety on EtherNet/IP communications with
other controllers on the same EtherNet/IP network when you connect an NX-series
NX-SL5£££ Unit
with an NX-series CPU Unit
*1
.
*1. Refer to A-17 Version Information on page A - 105 for the model numbers and unit versions of the applicable
NX-series CPU Units.
In addition, you can build a safety control system which performs CIP Safety on EtherNet/IP communi-
cations in a system that does not use an
NX-series CPU Unit when you connect an NX-series NX-
SL5£££ Unit with an NX-series NX-CSG320 Communication Control Unit. For details on systems
that use NX-series Communication Control Units, refer to the NX-series Safety Control Unit /
Communication Control Unit User's Manual (Cat. No. Z395).
