Sysmac Studio
1
Assign the network variable to the tag used for the EtherNet/IP connection for Controller 2 (tar-
get device).
This network variable stores data to send to Controller 1 (originator device).
Set the Network Publish attribute to Input or Output in the Global Variable Table for the variable
so that the variable serves as a network variable, i.e., the variable can be used for the Ether-
Net/IP connections.
In this example, set the network variable for Controller 1 as shown below.
• Name: Net_Out1
• Data type: WORD
• Network Publish attribute: Output
