Tag Data Link
The current values of K6CM are sent cyclically to the specified area of the PLC.
• The PLC assigns I/O memory address or variables to the input tag set. The size must be the same as
the internal data size of the K6CM.
• The K6CM assigns an identification number (instance ID) of a predetermined tag data link internal
data to the output tag set. The data size is fixed to 44 bytes (common to models).
Configuration tool
When configuring with OMRON controllers, the following setting tools for the tag data link should be
used.
When tag data link is made between CS/CJ-series
PLCs or other company PLCs and and the K6CM
devices
When tag data link is made between NJ/NX-series
Controller and the K6CM devices
Connection to be created
• Using the Network Configurator
1
Install and start
(1) Install Network Configurator.
(2) Start Network Configurator.
(3) Download the K6CM EDS file from our I-Web and install it on the Network Configurator.

Configuration
(1) Register PLC and K6CM devices in the network configuration and set the IP address.
(2) Configure settings to add a connection between devices (i.e., "make a connection").
Note Things to check beforehand:
K6CM Motor Condition Monitoring Device User's Manual (N219)
Configurations
• Which memory area (I/O memory or variables) in the PLC should be used for the
tag data link.
• The size of the internal data (parameter) of the K6CM is 44 bytes for all models.
2)-1
Drag a K6CM to the PLC and register it.
2)-2
Click the [Edit Tag Sets] Button to create input tags with the above sizes.
2)-3
