APPENDIX B
EtherNet/IP Connections from Windows XP (SP2 or Higher),
Windows Vista and Windows 7
Better firewall security for Windows XP (SP2 or higher), Windows Vista and Windows 7 has increased the
restrictions for data communications on Ethernet ports. When using an EtherNet/IP connection
*1
to one of the
following PLCs from an Ethernet port on a computer, you must change the settings of the Windows Firewall to
enable using CX-Programmer communications.
Applicable PLCs:
•
CJ2H-CPU6
@
-EIP
•
CS1W/CJ1W-EIP
@@
Note1:
An EtherNet/IP connection includes the following cases:
•
An online connection with the network type set to EtherNet/IP
•
An automatic online connection to a PLC on an EtherNet/IP network when
Auto
Online - EtherNet/IP Node Online
is selected from the PLC Menu
Note:
The Windows Firewall is mainly designed to prevent inappropriate access from
external devices (e.g., via the Internet). The changes to the Windows Firewall settings
described in this document enable EtherNet/IP connections to be used by the CX-
Programmer. If the same computer is being used on a company network or other
network, confirm that the changes will not create security problems before proceeding
with the changes. The changes described in this document are required only when you
connect using EtherNet/IP through an Ethernet port. No changes are necessary if you
are connecting through any other port, such as a USB port.
