The rest of this article uses the name Ethernet Interface to refer to any of the above Ethernet ports or modules.

See Omron Ethernet Guide for information about using Omron PLC Devices with Ethernet.

Configuring Omron Ethernet Interfaces

CS/CJ Ethernet Interfaces can be configured using CX-Programmer.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface on the CPU unit

To change the settings of the Ethernet Interface on the CPU unit:

1. Open a project in CX-Programmer and in the Workspace window select I/O Table and Unit Setup:

CX-Programmer Workspace window with I/O Table and Unit Setup selected

2. Double-click the IO Table and Unit Setup branch to open the PLC IO Table window. Expand the Built-in Port/Inner Board branch:

CX-Programmer PLC I/O Table with built-in Ethernet port shown

3. Double-click the entry that corresponds to the built-in Ethernet port.
