5-3 Connecting to Host via EtherNet/IP
5-3-1 What is EtherNet/IP?
EtherNet/IP is a multi-vendor industrial network protocol that uses Ethernet. The specification
is an open standard managed by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association), as is De-
viceNet, and it is used for a variety of industrial devices.
NS-series PTs can communicate with CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units and CJ2H-CPU@@-
EIP and CJ2M-CPU3@ CPU Units. (The CJ2H-CPU@@-EIP and CJ2M-CPU3@ have built-in
EtherNet/IP ports.)
Also, it is possible to perform tag message communications when using a CPU Unit with a
built-in EtherNet/IP port. These CPU Units contain a tag name server, so if tag names and an
address table are stored in advance in the CPU Unit, it is possible to perform access from
the NS-series PT using only the tag names.
The following NS-series PTs and systems versions support EtherNet/IP.
