15-1 System Configuration and Features
N14/20 CPU Units have one built-in Ethernet port. N30/40/60 CPU Units have two Ethernet ports, and
the second port is only for switch. A variety of protocols make available a wide range of applications for
use on an Ethernet network. The protocols can be selected include sending and receiving data by
TCP/IP or UDP/IP (socket services), sending and receiving commands by OMRON’s standard protocol
FINS, and automatically adjusting the PLC’s internal clock by SNTP.
