Network Configurator
The Network Configurator is used to set the tag data links for the EtherNet/IP

One version 3.0 or higher.) The main functions of the Network Configurator
are given below.
1) Setting and Monitoring Tag Data Links (Connections)
The network device configuration and tag data links (connections) can be cre-
ated and edited. After connecting to the network, the device configuration and
tag data link settings can be uploaded and monitored.
2) Multivendor Device Connections
EDS files can be installed and deleted to enable constructing, setting, and
managing networks that contain EtherNet/IP devices from other companies.
The IP addresses of EtherNet/IP devices can also be changed.
For details on the Network Configurator, refer to SECTION 6 Tag Data Link
