1-5-3 Precautions When Using the Network Configurator
Only an OMRON EtherNet/IP Unit can be set as the originator for a connec-
tion using the Network Configurator.
• The Network Configurator can be connected to the EtherNet/IP network
through the following ports:
CS1/CJ1-series CPU Unit’s serial port (peripheral or RS-232C) or
Ethernet port on EtherNet/IP Unit
CJ2-series CPU Unit’s serial port (USB or RS-232C), Ethernet port on
EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port
The Network Configurator can be connected directly to the EtherNet/IP
network from the computer’s Ethernet port. When connecting directly to
the EtherNet/IP network, an Ethernet port must be set up in the computer
in advance. In this case, the Network Configurator will be connected to
the EtherNet/IP network as a single node. If there isn’t an unused node
address available, the Network Configurator can’t be connected directly to
the EtherNet/IP network.
