1. Introduction to Omron EtherNet/IP

WebAccess SCADA Node provides an EtherNet/IP driver to connect the Omron PLC by using the
EtherNet/IP protocol. The Omron CS- and CJ- series PLCs as CS1W-EIP21, CJ1W-EIP21, CJ2HCPU6□-EIP,
CJ2M-CPU3□ are supported by EtherNet/IP units.
NX-series CPU units build-in EtherNet/IP port are listed as
 NX701-17□□
 NX701-16□□
 NX1P2-11□□□□
 NX1P2-11□□□□1
 NX1P2-10□□□□
 NX1P2-10□□□□1
 NX1P2-90□□□□
 NX1P2-90□□□□1
NJ-series CPU units build-in EtherNet/IP are listed as
 NJ501-□5□□
 NJ501-□4□□
 NJ501-□3□□
 NJ301-12□□
 NJ301-11□□
 NJ101-10□□

1.1 Omron EtherNet/IP

EtherNet/IP is an industrial multi-vendor network that uses Ethernet components. The EtherNet/IP
specifications are open standards managed by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association), just like
DeviceNet. EtherNet/IP is not just a network between controllers; it is also used as a field network. Since
EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet technology, various general-purpose Ethernet devices can be used in
the network. The EtherNet/IP Unit and built-in EtherNet/IP port have the following features as high
speed, high capacity data exchange through tag data links.
The EtherNet/IP protocol supports implicit communications, which allows cyclic communications (called
tag data links in this manual) with EtherNet/IP devices. Data can be exchanged at high speed between
Controllers and devices, using high-volume tag sets (up to 640 words for the CJ2M-EIP21 and up to
184,832 words for other CPU Units) between PLCs. Using the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit, up to 184,832
words of data (total of 369,664 words with two ports) can be quickly exchanged between controllers and
devices. Using the NJ-series CPU Unit, up to 9,600 words of data can be exchanged.
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.

1.2 Ethernet Connectors

The following standards and specifications apply to the connectors for the Ethernet twisted-pair cable.
 Electrical specifications: Conforming to IEEE 802.3 standards.
 Connector structure: RJ45 8-pin Modular Connector (conforming to ISO 8877)
 For information on connecting shield wire to connector hoods, refer to 2-1-2 Ethernet Switch Types
Figure 1.2 The connectors for the Ethernet twisted-pair cable
1.3 Omron Sysmac Studio

 Open the Omron sysmac studio and use the known PLC’s IP address or the default IP address
(192.168.250.1) to connect the Omron PLC.
Figure 1.3 Connect to Device of the Omron sysmac studio
 Transfer the configuration from the PLC to back up the origin project
Figure 1.4 Transfer the project from the PLC controller
 Turn “Offline” and you can change the built-in EtherNet/IP IP address
Figure 1.5 TCP/IP setting of the PLC controller
 Create global variables to test the connection
Figure 1.6 Global variables setting of the PLC controller
 Turn “Online” and you can download the global variables to verify the connections
Figure 1.7 Transfer the project to the PLC controller
 Use “Watch” to check and change the values of the global variables to verify the connection

2. Configure Omron PLC connection by using EtherNet/IP

The steps, in summary, are:
1. Start Internet Explorer Web Browser.
2. Enter IP address of the Project Node.
3. Use WebAccess Configuration.
4. Open or Create a Project.
5. Configure a SCADA node (the PC that will connect to the automation hardware).
6. Configure a Comport for the SCADA Node that is a TCPIP type Comport.
Note - It is recommended to select a Comport number greater than 2 so that it does not conflict
with a Serial comport that you may want to use later.
2.1 TCPIP Comport Properties

The TCPIP Comport is usually associated with an Ethernet Network Interface Card on the SCADA Node
PC. Any TCPIP compatible medium is supported as long as it complies with Microsoft TCPIP protocol
stack. The user should give the setting of comport number, scan time, timeout, retry count, auto recover
time & scan devices in parallel by the actual connection requirements.
Figure 2.1 TCPIP Comport properties
2.2 Device Setting

The user needs to set the device name, unit number, device type and the IP address and port number by
the Omron PLC setting. The default port number of the EtherNet/IP protocol is “44818”.
Figure 2.2 OmronEIP device properties
2.3 Tag property

In the WebAccess SCADA, there are three data types for the discrete, analog and text tags. The below
screenshots are the samples for the tag property setting for the Omron PLC.
Discrete tag property
Figure 2.3 The discrete tag property for the BOOL variable
Analog array tag property
Figure 2.4 The analog tag property for the INT array
Text tag property
Figure 2.5 The text tag property for the STRING variable
