Name Setting Methods
Originator Variable Select the originator node's tag set to assign it.
• Input is specified for Input/Output: Select the originator's input
(consume) tag set.
• Output is specified for Input/Output: Select the originator's output
(produce) tag set.
Size [Byte] Enter the data sizes of the originator variables.
Connection Type Select whether the data is to be sent in the multicast or unicast (point-
to-point) form. The default setting is multicast.
• Multi-cast connection: Select when the same data is to be shared
by multiple nodes. This setting is usually used.
• Point-to-point connection: Select when the same data is not to be
shared by multiple nodes.
Since the data is sent in unicast transmission, other nodes are not
burdened with unnecessary load.
Note Refer to 9-1-4 Overview of Operation
on page 9-7 for details on
how to use multi-cast and unicast connections, and how to count
the number of connections.
RPI [ms] 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).
Timeout Value Set the time until a connection timeout is detected.
The timeout value is set as a multiple of the packet interval (RPI) and
can be set to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 times the packet inter-
val.
The default setting is RPI x 4.
The timeout value must be at least 10 ms.
7 The Toolbox displays the target devices if the devices are registered in the same Sysmac Stu-
dio project as where the originator devices are registered.
You can use one of the following methods to add unregistered devices in the same Sysmac
Studio project as where the originator devices are registered to the Target Device List.
•
Importing devices that are registered in another project
You can import NJ/NX-series Controllers registered in another project data and add them to
the Device List.
• Registering devices using user-specified settings
You can manually add target devices to the device list.
Additional Information
You can add target devices to the Device List by installing EDS files that include connection in-
formation for the devices in the Sysmac Studio and register the devices to the project.
Refer to Adding EDS Files on page
A-22 for details.
8 Import devices that are registered in another project.
1) Click the (Import a device from another project) Button in the Toolbox on the right of
the EtherNet/IP Connection Setting Tab Page.
