5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet 
 
• 
• 
Set the unit number using SW1 and SW2. Set the unit number so that it is different from 
other CPU Bus Units in the system. 
Set the node number using SW3 and SW4. 
 
Setting Range  
Each switch can be set within the following range. 
Settings  Setting range  
Unit number (SW1, SW2)   00 to 15 (decimal)  
Node number (SW3, SW4)   01 to 7E hexadecimal (1 to 126 decimal)  
 
Setting Unit Numbers  
The unit number is used to identify each Unit when multiple CPU Bus Units are mounted to 
the CPU Unit. 
Use the left switch (SW1) to set the ten’s digit, and the right switch (SW2) to set the one’s 
digit. Set between 00 and 15 decimal. 
Setting Example  
This example is for unit number 12. 
 
 
Reference  • The unit number cannot be set to a value more than 15. If the unit number is set to a 
value higher than 15, the ERH indicator in the display will light. 
  • When more than one CPU Bus Unit is mounted to a single PLC, set each Unit with a 
unique unit number. 
 
Setting Node Numbers  
The node number is used to identify PLCs when more than one PLC is connected to the 
Ethernet. This setting is the node number used for FINS communications. 
Use the left switch (SW3) to set the left digit as a hexadecimal, and the right switch (SW4) to 
set the right digit. The setting range is 01 to 7E hexadecimal (1 to 126 decimal). 
 
Setting Example: 
This example is for node number 29 (decimal). 
29 = 1 
× 16 + 13 = 1D (hexadecimal)
