Select Input Only (Tag type) to use tag data links with an NX-EIP201,
CS1W-EIP21, CJ1W-EIP21, CJ2B-EIP21, CJ2M-EIP21, CJ1W-

When you create tag data links for other devices, select the connection
I/O type specified in that device's EDS file.
Use the Input Only (ID type) setting when another company's node is
the originator and does not support connection settings with a Tag type
setting.
Select whether the data is sent in multicast or unicast (point-to-point)
form. The default setting is multicast.
•
Multi-cast connection:
Select when the same data is shared by multiple nodes. This setting is
usually used.
•
Point-to-point connection:
Select when the same data is not shared by multiple nodes. In a uni-
cast transmission, other nodes are not burdened with an unnecessary
load.
Refer to 9-1-4 Overview of Operation on page 9-7 for details on using
multi-cast and unicast connections, and counting the number of connec-
tions.
Set the data update cycle (i.e., the packet interval) of each connection
*1
between the originator and target.
The default setting is 50 ms (i.e., data is updated once every 50 ms).
Set the RPI between 1.0 and 10,000 ms in 1.0-ms increments.
