*1. Refer to the NX-series Safety Control Units User’s Manual (Cat. No. Z930) for the number of Safety Control Units that
      can be connected.
*2. This function was added or improved for a version upgrade. Refer to the NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Unit User’s
      Manual (Cat. No. W519) for information on version upgrades.
*3. The range of node addresses that can be set depends on the model of the built-in EtherCAT port. For the node address
      ranges that can be set for a built-in EtherCAT port, refer to the user's manual for the built-in EtherCAT port on the
      connected CPU Unit or Industrial PC.
*4. This depends on the specifications of the EtherCAT master. For example, the values are as follows when the EtherCAT
      Coupler Unit is connected to the built-in EtherCAT port on an NJ5-series CPU Unit: 500 μs, 1,000 μs, 2,000 μs, and
      4,000 μs. For the specifications of the built-in EtherCAT port, refer to the user's manual for the built-in EtherCAT port
      on the connected CPU Unit or the Industrial PC.
*5. This depends on the Unit configuration.
*6. There are restrictions in the communications cycles that you can set for some of the NX Units. If you use any of those
      NX Units, set a communications cycle that will satisfy the specifications for the refresh cycles that can be executed by
      the NX Unit. Refer to the appendix of the NX-series Data Reference Manual (Cat. No. W525-E1-07 or later) to see if
      there are restrictions on any specific NX Units. For information on the communications cycles that you can set, refer to
      the user’s manuals for the NX Units.
*7. Use a voltage that is appropriate for the I/O circuits of the NX Units and the connected external devices.
