2．Terms and Definitions

2. Terms and Definitions

Term Explanation and Definition

node It refers to a relay point, a junction point or an end point on an

EtherNet/IP network made up of devices having an EtherNet/IP port.

A device with one EtherNet/IP port is recognized as one node and two

EtherNet/IP ports as two nodes on an EtherNet/IP network.

tag A unit that is used to exchange data with tag data links.

Data is exchanged between the local network variables and remote

network variables specified in the tags or between specified I/O memory

areas.

tag set When a connection is established, from 1 to 8 tags (including Controller

status) is configured as a tag set. Each tag set represents the data that

is linked for a tag data link connection. Tag data links are therefore

created through a connection between one tag set and another tag set.

A tag set name has to be set for each tag set.

tag data links The standard EtherNet/IP implicit communications are called tag data

links. Tag data links enable cyclic tag data exchanges on an

EtherNet/IP network between Controllers or between Controllers and

other devices.

connection It is used to exchange data as a unit within which data concurrency is

maintained.

connection type There are two kinds of connection types for tag data links.

One is a multi-cast connection, and the other is a unicast (point-to-point)

connection. The multi-cast connection sends an output tag set in one

packet to more than one node. The unicast connection separately sends

one output tag set to each node. Therefore, the multi-cast connection

can reduce the communications load if one output tag set is sent to

more than one node.

originator and target

To make tag data links, it is necessary to establish connections between

nodes that perform tag data links. The node that requests the

connection is called the originator, and the node that receives the

request is called the target.

tag data link

parameters The information that is set to make tag data links, including tags, tag

sets and connections, is called tag data link parameters.
