Tag Data Link Setting Methods
This section describes how to set data links for EtherNet/IP.
The communications areas in the PLC for which data links to the code reader are created are speci-
fied as tags and tag sets, and the connections are set for tag data link communications.
Precautions for Correct Use
When connecting to an NJ-series or CJ-series CPU Unit, install the EDS file that defines the
connection information for the code reader in to Sysmac Studio.
Download the EDS file from OMRON's website.
Tags, Tag Sets, and Connection Settings
The code reader has 6 types of Input Assemblies and 2 types of Output Assemblies, and one type can
be selected for each. The Data Structure changes based on the selected Assembly.
For more detailed information about Memory Allocation and the Data Structure of each Assembly,
