Tag Data Link Setting Methods
This section describes how to set data links for EtherNet/IP.
The communications areas in the PLC for which data links are created to the Reader/Writer are
specified as tags and tag sets, and the connections are set for tag data link communications.
To connect to OMRON PLCs or Controllers, you use the Network Configurator to set up tag data links
(i.e., tags, tag sets, and connection settings).
Refer to the following manuals for details on the tag data link settings that are made with the Network
Configurator.
• NJ-series CPU Unit Built-in EtherNet/IP Port User´s Manual (Cat. No. W506)
• CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units Operation Manual (Cat. No. W465)
• CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units Operation Manual for NJ-series CPU Unit (Cat. No. W495)
To set tag data links, an EDS file that defines the V680S connection is required. Download the EDS file from the
OMRON website.
The communications areas in the PLC are set as tag data link connections as shown in the following
