6. EtherNet/IP Settings 
 
This section describes the specifications such as communication parameters and tag data link 
that are defined in this document.   
Hereinafter, the PLC is referred to as the "destination device" in some descriptions. 
 
 
6.1.  EtherNet/IP Communications Parameters 
The communications parameters required to connect the Controller and the destination device 
via EtherNet/IP are given below.   
 
  Controller (Node 1)  PLC (Node 2) 
IP address  192.168.250.1  192.168.250.2 
Subnet mask  255.255.255.0  255.255.255.0 
 
 
6.2.  Allocating the Tag Data Links 
The data in the tag data links of the destination device are allocated to the global variables of 
the Controller. The relationship between the device data and the global variables is shown 
below.  
The following global variables are defined in the "Configuration file".

Additional Information 
 
With the Sysmac Studio, two methods can be used to specify an array for a data type. After 
specifying, (1) is converted to (2) and the data type is always displayed as (2).   
(1)WORD[3]/(2)ARRAY[0..2]OF WORD 
In this document, the data type is simplified by displaying WORD[3].   
(The example above means a WORD data type with three array elements.)
