Creating Tags And Tag Sets - Omron NX Series User Manual

Precautions for Correct Use
Make sure that you select the devices with the same device names and the same major CIP
revisions as the devices you use in the actual operation. The following will occur if any device
name or CIP revision is incorrect when you attempt to download tag data link parameters on the
Network Configurator.
• If a device name is incorrect, an error message will be displayed saying "Specified device
can not be accessed, or wrong device type", and the download will fail.
• If a revision is incorrect, a message will be displayed saying "Wrong unit revision", and the
download will fail.
Similarly, the above will occur when performing upload or comparison of the tag data link pa-
rameters.
In any of the above cases, refer to 9-2-17 Changing Devices on page 9-70 and change the
device.
