Support Software Required to Construct a Network

This section describes the Support Software that is required to construct an EtherNet/IP network. The
built-in EtherNet/IP port has Ethernet Settings and Tag Data Link Settings, which are stored in the non-
volatile memory of the Controller. Support Software is provided for each, as described below.
 Built-in Ethernet/IP Settings: Sysmac Studio
Use the Sysmac Studio to set the basic settings, such as the local IP address and subnet mask of
the built-in EtherNet/IP port. The Sysmac Studio can also be used to check if data I/O is being per-
formed correctly for tag data links.

Refer to the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for details on the Sysmac
Studio.
 Tag Data Link Settings: Network Configurator
Use the Network Configurator to set the tag data links for the built-in EtherNet/IP port. (The Network
Configurator is included in the Sysmac Studio Standard Edition.) The main functions of the Network
Configurator are given below.
1) Setting and Monitoring Tag Data Links (Connections)
The network device configuration and tag data links (connections) can be created and edited. After
connecting to the network, the device configuration and tag data link settings can be uploaded and
monitored.
2) Multi-vendor Device Connections
EDS files can be installed and deleted so that you can construct, set, and manage networks that
contain EtherNet/IP devices from other companies. The IP addresses of EtherNet/IP devices can
also be changed.
Tag Data Link Settings
(non-volatile memory)
For details on the Network Configurator, refer to Section 7 Tag Data Link Functions.
