Omron, NX-EIC202

• 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
