The settings are as follows:
Setting Description
Connection I/O Type Select Input Only (Tag type) to use tag data links with an NX-EIP201,
CS1W
-EIP21, CJ1W-EIP21, CJ2B-EIP21, CJ2M-EIP21, CJ1W-
EIP21(CJ2), CJ1W-EIP21(NJ), NX701, NX102-££££, NX1P2, NJ501-
££££, NJ301-££££, or NJ101 CPU Unit.
When you create tag data links for other devices, select the connection
I/O type specified in that device's EDS file.
Use the Input Only (ID type) setting when another company’s node is
the originator and does not support connection settings with a Tag type
setting.
Connection Type Select whether the data is sent in multicast or unicast (point-to-point)
form. The default setting is multicast.
• Multi-cast connection:
Select when the same data is shared by multiple nodes. This setting is
usually used.
• Point-to-point connection:
Select when the same data is not shared by multiple nodes. In a uni-
cast transmission, other nodes are not burdened with an unnecessary
load.
Refer to 9-1-4 Overview of Operation
on page
9-7 for details on using
multi-cast and unicast connections, and counting the number of connec-
tions.
The Connection Structure Area and the following items are not displayed if the Hide Detail Button is
clicked.
Packet Interval (RPI)
*1
Set the data update cycle (i.e., the packet interval) of each connection
between the originator and target.
The default setting is 50 ms (i.e., data is updated once every 50 ms).
Set the RPI between 1.0 and 10,000 ms in 1.0-ms increments.
