7-4 Message Communications Specifications
CPU Unit function CS/CJ Series
Unit model number CS1W-EIP21, CJ1W-EIP21, CJ2H-CPU@@-EIP, or CJ2M-CPU3@
Communications
instructions
Sending/ receiving
data
SEND and RECV instructions
FINS commands CMND(490) instruction
There are two kinds of FINS commands: commands addressed to the CPU
Unit, and commands addressed to the CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Unit or
built-in EtherNet/IP port.
Sending Ether-
Net/IP CIP UCMM
messages
CMND(490) instruction
Sends CIP UCMM messages to other companies’ masters/slaves, or PLCs
with a CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port mounted.

Refer to 3-25 Network Instructions in the CS/CJ Series Programmable Con-
trollers Instructions Reference Manual (W340) for information on ports (logi-
cal ports).

Internetwork con-
nections
Same network type Supports internetwork communications between Ethernet networks con-
nected to CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units and built-in EtherNet/IP ports (up
to 3 levels).
Different network
type
Supports internetwork communications between the EtherNet/IP network
connected to a CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port
and other networks such as Controller Link or SYSMAC LINK (up to 3 lev-
els).
