 Tag Data Links
Cyclic communications between Controllers or between Controllers and other devices are possible
on an EtherNet/IP network. Tag data links can quickly perform data exchanges.
 Message Communications
You can send CIP commands to devices on the EtherNet/IP network when required by execution of
CIP communications instructions in a program. As a result, it is possible to send and receive data
with devices on the EtherNet/IP network.
 BOOTP Client
If the NY-series built-in EtherNet/IP port is set in the BOOTP settings, the BOOTP client operates
when the Controller power is turned ON, and the IP address is obtained from the BOOTP server. It is
possible to set all of the IP addresses of multiple built-in EtherNet/IP ports at the same time.
 Built-in FTP Server for File Transfers to and from Host Computers
An FTP server is built into the Controller. You can use it to read and write data within the Controller
as files from workstations and computers with FTP clients. The FTP server enables the transfer of
large amounts of data from a client without any additional ladder programming.
 FTP Client for File Transfers to and from Host Computers
An FTP client is built into the Controller so that you can read and write files on workstations and
computers that have an FTP server from the Controller.
You can use the FTP client communications instructions to transfer one or more files between the
Controller and an FTP server.
 Socket Services
Socket services can be used to send/receive data between general-purpose applications and Con-
trollers. You can use these communications services to send and receive any data to and from
remote nodes, i.e., between host computers and Controllers or between Controllers. You can exe-
cute socket communications instructions in order in a program to execute communications pro-
cesses with the socket services. There are two socket services, the UDP socket service and TCP
socket service.
 Host Names
You can directly specify IP addresses, but you can also use the host names instead of the IP
addresses for SNMP managers, or the destinations of socket instructions and CIP communications
instructions (DNS client or hosts settings). This is useful, for example, when server IP addresses
change for system revisions because the IP addresses are automatically found when host names
are used.
* A separate DNS server is necessary to use host names with the DNS client.
* The DNS server is specified directly using its IP address.
 Network Management with an SNMP Manager
The SNMP agent passes internal status information from the built-in EtherNet/IP port to network
management software that uses an SNMP manager.
* A separate SNMP manager is necessary for network management.
