Connection with Network Configurator
The NE1A-series Controller is set and programmed using a Network Configu-
rator. The Network Configurator also enables uploading configuration data,
online monitoring of program execution status, error history checks, etc.
The Network Configurator can be used in the following ways:
• Direct connection to DeviceNet
• USB connection to the NE1A-series Controller
• Serial connection to an OMRON PLC
• Connection from Ethernet using an EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router
• Direct connection to EtherNet/IP (for Controllers that support EtherNet/IP)
Direct Connection to DeviceNet
A DeviceNet Board/Card enables the Network Configurator to connect directly
to the network. Remote configuration and monitoring are supported for stan-
dard nodes and safety nodes on the network. When connected directly to
DeviceNet, the Network Configurator forms one node on the network.
