4-3 Mounting Units
The Units that make up an NJ-series Controller can be connected simply by pressing the Units together
and locking the sliders by moving them toward the back of the Units. The End Cover is connected in the
same way to the Unit on the far right side of the Controller.
1Join the Units so that the connectors fit exactly.
2The yellow sliders at the top and bottom of each Unit lock the Units together. Move the sliders
toward the back of the Units as shown below until they click into place.

Version Information
Information on differences in specifications and functionality for Controller with different unit versions
and for different versions of the Sysmac Studio is given.
Precaution on Terminology
• In this manual, download refers to transferring data from the Sysmac Studio to the physical Control-
ler, and upload refers to transferring data from the physical Controller to the Sysmac Studio.
For the Sysmac Studio, synchronization is used to both upload and download data. Here,
synchronize means to automatically compare the data for the Sysmac Studio on the computer with
the data in the physical Controller and transfer the data in the direction that is specified by the user.
• Some of the instructions described in this manual apply to both the NX and NY-series Controllers.
Therefore, note the following conditions.
a) NX-series enables you to connect a computer that runs the Support Software directly to the CPU
Unit with a USB connection. However, NY-series has no peripheral USB port. For details, refer to
the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (Cat. No. W501) or the NY-series Industrial
Panel PC / Industrial Box PC Software User’s Manual (Cat. No. W558).
b) In this manual, the SD Memory Card refers to storage used by AI functions. Note that SD Memo-
ry Cards inserted to the SD Memory Card slots of NY-series Controllers are for use by Windows
and do not use for AI functions. For details on SD Memory Cards of NY-series Controllers, refer
to the NY-series Industrial Box PC Hardware User’s Manual (Cat. No. W556) or the NY-series
Industrial Panel PC Hardware User’s Manual (Cat. No. W557).
