You can update the Sysmac Studio, CX-One, or from OMRON websites to get the ESI files for the most
recent models.
Unit power supplies provide power for communications and the internal operation of EtherNet/IP Slave
Term i nals .
I/O power supplies provide power for the I/O operation of the external devices that are connected to
EtherNet/IP Slave Terminals.
There are several types of Support Software for network configuration. They are used as follows
depending on the purpose.
When using an EtherNet/IP Unit as the EtherNet/IP master, use the CPU Unit configuration software
(such as the Sysmac Studio or CX-Programmer) to set the basic settings, such as the IP address and
subnet mask of the EtherNet/IP Unit.
You can also use the CPU Unit configuration software to check data I/O for tag data links to see if they
are performed normally.
