Unit version 1.12 or later
Communications type
Standard EtherNet/IP implicit communications (connection-type cyclic commu-
nications)
Setting method
After you have set the tags, tag sets, and connections with the Network Config-
urator, you must download the tag data link parameters to all devices on the
EtherNet/IP network. You can export the network variables that you created on
the Sysmac Studio to a CSV file. You can then import the file to the Network
Configurator and assign the network variables to tags.
After the parameters are downloaded, the EtherNet/IP ports are restarted to
start the tag data links.
