Tag Data Link Functions And Specifications - Omron NJ501-1300 User Manual

Note To enable a connection, each tag set must include only input tags or only output tags. (Both input and output
tags cannot be included in the same tag set.)

*1 To specify a specific I/O memory address for a tag, create a variable, use an AT specification of the I/O mem-
ory address on the Sysmac Studio, and then specify the variable with the AT specification for the tag.
*2 You can import network variables created in the Sysmac Studio to the Network Configurator as tags.
However, variables with a Network Publish attribute that have variable names that are the same as the I/O
memory address notation, such as "0000" and "H0000" are not exported to CSV files.
*3 The following table lists the variables that you can specify as tags.

*4 The maximum number of tags is given for the following conditions.
• All tag sets contain eight tags.
• The maximum number of tag sets (32) is registered.

Standard EtherNet/IP implicit communications (connection-type cyclic communi-
cations)
After you have set the tags, tag sets, and connections with the Network Configu-
rator, you must download the tag data link parameters to all devices on the Eth-
erNet/IP network.
You can export the network variables that you created on the Sysmac Studio to
a CSV file. You can then import the file to the Network Configurator and assign
the network variables to tags.
After the parameters are downloaded, the EtherNet/IP Units are restarted to
start the tag data links.
You can specify the following network variables as tags.
• Global variables
300 words (600 bytes)
*4
256
8 (7 when Controller status is included)
300 words (600 bytes)
32
Maximum number of connections per Unit: 32
Each connection can be set for 1-to-1 (unicast) or 1-to-N (multi-cast) communi-
cations.
10 to 10,000 ms in 1-ms increments
The packet interval can be set separately for each connection.
