2．Terms and Definitions

2. Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions used in this guide are given below.

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, one or more tags (up to eight tags

including Controller status) are configured as a collective set of tags.

This is called a tag set. Each tag set represents a unit of data for one 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 must 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 decrease 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 open a connection 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.

EDS file A file that describes information unique to a device, such as the number

of I/O points for a specified EtherNet/IP device.

3．Precautions

3. Precautions

(1) Understand the specifications of devices which are used in the system. Allow some

margin for ratings and performance. Provide safety measures, such as installing a safety

circuit, in order to ensure safety and minimize the risk of abnormal occurrence.

(2) To ensure system safety, make sure you always read and follow the information provided

in all Safety Precautions and Precautions for Safe Use in the manuals for each device

used in the system.

(3) The user is encouraged to confirm the standards and regulations that the system must

conform to.

(4) It is prohibited to copy, to reproduce, and to distribute a part or the whole of this guide

without the permission of OMRON Corporation.

(5) The information contained in this guide is current as of May 2021. It is subject to change

for improvement without notice.

The following notations are used in this guide.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or may result in serious

injury or death. Additionally, there may be significant property

damage.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

Precautions for Correct Use

Precautions on what to do and what not to do to ensure proper operation and performance.

Additional Information
