Starting and Stopping the EtherNet/IP Connections for the Entire Network
You can start and stop EtherNet/IP connections from the user program or from the Sysmac Studio.
Precautions for Correct Use
Use the same method (i.e., either the user program or the tool software) to both start and stop
EtherNet/IP connections.
For example, if you use the _EIP_TDLinkStopCmd (Tag Data Link Communications Stop
Switch) system-defined variable to stop EtherNet/IP connections, you cannot start them from
the Sysmac Studio and the Network Configurator
