Unit addresses are used to identify each of devices connected to a single node on a network.
Unit addresses are set as shown below
.
• CPU Unit: 00 hex
NJ-series CPU Unit
As shown in the table below, the network type number and the destination address are determined
depending on whether the output is routed (1) to a Unit on the CPU Rack or (2) from a communica-
tions port on a Communications Unit.

1. When Routing the Output to a Unit on the CPU Rack
Route the output to the backplane port for the network with the CPU Rack, with the Unit ad-
dress of the destination Unit specified as the destination address.
2. When Routing the Output from a Communications Port on a Communications Unit
Route the output to an EtherNet/IP port, with the IP address specified as the destination node
address.
