5.2 Pre-Operation Procedures
5.2.1 Consideration before configuring the EtherNet/IP network
Program modification steps can be reduced by configuring the system as shown
below even when the data size is changed for system expansion or some other
purposes.
The following is an example of increasing the data size of Tag No.1 from 5 words to 10
words.
(a) Setting auto refresh for each tag
Configure the auto refresh settings providing some empty areas as shown in the
Figure 5.3 so that no change is required on the settings even when the tag data
size is changed.
In addition, the existing device numbers are not changed.
The sequence program can be modified only by changing the read or write data
size of Tag No.1.
