NJ-series CPU Unit Built-in EtherNet/IP Port User’s Manual (W506)
This sample uses CIP class 3 messages to write a variable, read a variable, and send a message. The
Controllers are connected to an EtherNet/IP network. The IP address of the remote node is
192.168.250.2. The following procedure is used.
1 The CIPOpen instruction is used to open a class 3 connection. The timeout time is 2 s.
2 The CIPWrite instruction is used to write the value of a variable at a remote node. The variable
name at the remote node is WritingDat and the contents of the WriteDat is written to it. Writing-
Dat must be defined as a global variable at the remote node and the Network Publish attribute
must be set.
3 The CIPRead instruction is used to read the value of a variable at a remote node. The value of
the variable OriginalDat at the other node is read and the read value is stored in the ReadDat
variable. OriginalDat must be defined as a global variable at the remote node and the Network
Publish attribute must be set.
4 The CIPSend instruction is used to send an explicit message to a remote node. The contents of
the message is to read identity information (product name). The class ID, instance ID, attribute
ID, and service code are as follows: The response data is stored in the ResDat variable.
5 The CIPClose instruction is used to close the class 3 connection.
