System Integration:

• This coupler belongs to the Omron NX series I/O system.

• Connects to an EtherNet/IP network via two RJ45 ports (built‑in switch supports line and star topologies).

• Up to 63 NX I/O units (digital, analog, safety) can be connected to a single coupler.

• I/O power is supplied to NX units through the coupler (up to 10 A total).

• Configuration is performed using Sysmac Studio automation software via the peripheral USB port.
