2-1 Overview of System Startup Procedure
This section explains the overall procedure for using EtherNet/IP using a basic
example.
2-1-1 Basic Procedure
The basic procedure is given below. For details on settings and connections,
refer to the Operation Manual for the Master Unit, as well as the detailed
descriptions of individual Slaves.
■ Preparations
↓
■ Setting IP addresses
↓
■ Setting tag data links
↓
■ Checking operation
Preparations The following Units are used in this example.
EtherNet/IP Unit: CJ2H-CPU68-EIP
EtherNet/IP Slave Unit: ERT1-WD16CH-1
If tag data links are used, a switching hub must be installed. Select a switch-
ing hub that is capable of handling the type of communications being per-
formed over the network.
Refer to 2-2 Recommended Network Devices.
The network devices and IP addresses that are used in the following proce-
dures are shown below. All of the devices have a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and are set to the same network address.
1. Network Configurator Initial Settings
Start the Network Configurator. Refer to Common Procedure 2. Starting the
Network Configurator.
Install the EDS files for the Slave Units. Refer to Common Procedure 3.
Installing the EDS Files.
2. Connecting the Slave Units
• Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Align the polarizing key, insert the connector on the Ethernet cable into
the Ethernet connector on the Slave Unit, and then tighten the lock nut.
