Communication with the Reader over EtherNet/IP Connection

You can use an EtherNet/IP Tag Data Link to communicate between the PLC and the reader. The PLC
can control the reader with Command/Response communications and the reader can output data after
executing a Read.
To connect to OMRON Controllers and communicate through EtherNet/IP, you can use Sysmac
Studio, or Network Configurator to set up the Tag Data Links (tags, tag sets, and connection settings).
For more detailed information on Tag Data Link settings, please refer to the following manuals.
• 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)
Types of Communication Areas
For EtherNet/IP, communication with a PLC, the communication is performed using two
communication areas on the PLC, the Input Field and the Output Field. The V430 has 6 types of Input
Field Assemblies and 2 types of Output Field Assemblies, and one can be selected for each.
