NX-series CPU Units.
This system enables the safety controls between respective automation systems upon building up
each automation system that has the safety control built around EtherCAT which feature high speed
and high precision.
Additional Information
CIP Safety on EtherNet/IP communications are only available for the combination where an NX-
SL5£££ Unit is connected to an NX-series
CPU Unit or to a Communication Control Unit. It
cannot be used with NX-SL3£££ Units.
Standalone Safety Control System
The NX-SL3300 Unit is used connected to an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit to achieve safety controls in a
Slave Terminal.
The Safety Control Unit
performs remote I/O communications with a standard controller through an
EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit.
