Direct Connection via Ethernet (1:1 Connection
with Auto IP)
Ethernet Connection via a Hub (1:N Connection)
*1. An Ethernet switch is not necessarily required.
*2. You can use a straight or cross Ethernet cable to
connect.
*3. 1:1 connection is supported only for the built-in
EtherNet/IP port 1 on the NX502 CPU Units.

Precautions for Correct Use
If you connect the computer that runs the Sysmac Studio to the EtherNet/IP port on the NX-
series EtherNet/IP Unit, you cannot use direct connection via Ethernet. Use the Ethernet con-
nection via a hub through an Ethernet switch. In that case, you must specify the destination IP
address.
Precautions for Correct Use
If there is more than one node with the same IP address in the EtherNet/IP network, the Ether-
Net/IP port will connect to the node that is detected first.
Note that an IP Address Duplication Error will not be detected in this case.

Online Connection Procedure

form the following procedure.
