Note: Some Units do not have all of the versions given in the above table. If a Unit does not have the specified version, support is provided by the oldest available version after the specified version. Refer to the user’s manuals for the specific Units for the relation between models and versions.
*1. You can use the following versions if time stamp refreshing is not used.
*2. To use task period prioritized refreshing, you must use the NX-ECC203.
*3. If you do not use task period prioritized refreshing, you can use EtherCAT Coupler Units which support Position Interface Units with unit version 1.1 or earlier.
*4. If you do not use task period prioritized refreshing, you can use EtherCAT Coupler Units with unit version 1.0.

Refer to the user’s manuals for the specific Units for the relation between models and versions.
Note: 2. You cannot connect the relevant NX Unit or use the relevant NX Unit function if “---” is shown in the corresponding unit versions/versions column.
*1. Refer to the user's manual of the EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit for the unit versions of EtherNet/IP Units corresponding to EtherNet/IP Coupler Units.
*2. Refer to the user's manual of the EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit for the unit versions of CPU Units and EtherNet/IP Units corresponding to EtherNet/IP Coupler Units.
*3. For connection to an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit with unit version 1.0, connection is supported only for a connection to the peripheral USB port on the EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit. You cannot connect by any other path. If you need to connect by another path, use an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit with unit version 1.2 or later.
