Connecting to open industrial network standard EtherNet/IP

• The EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit is the link between the EtherNet/IP multivendor network and the NX-series I/O Units and Safety Units. With wide variety of the I/O Units and Safety Units, the NX-series is the perfect match for the CJ-series and multivendor Controllers.

Features

• Up to 63 NX-IO Units can be connected to one EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit. Standard and high-performance units can be mixed.*

• Each Coupler plus its I/O form just a single EtherCAT node on the network.

• I/O control and safety control can be integrated by connecting Units for safety.

• The IP address can be found on the label on the Unit, without using software.

• Slave configuration by Sysmac Studio can be done centrally via the controller, or on-the-spot using the Coupler's built-in USB port.

* Input per Coupler Unit: Maximum 504 bytes, Output per Coupler Unit: Maximum 504 bytes

Connecting Cable

Peripheral (USB) Port

Use a commercially available USB-certified cable. Specifications: USB 1.1 or 2.0 cable (A connector - B connector), 5.0 m max.

Recommended EtherNet/IP Communications Cables

For EtherNet/IP, required specification for the communications cables varies depending on the baud rate. For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher. For 1000BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP cable of category 5e or higher with double shielding (aluminum tape and braiding).
