How To Setup an EtherNet/IP Network Between 2 CJ2M PLCs (Video)

Introduction

This article uses the attached video files to demonstrate a quick and easy EtherNet/IP configuration for two CJ2M-CPU33 CPUs. The example videos show step-by-step instructions to configure two CPUs to consume and produce bit and word tags over an EtherNet/IP network.

The video files show the following items:

• Creating a CX-Programmer project with two CJ2M CPU's to set IP addresses and transferring to the controllers (1_EIP_cx-p(engsub).avi)
• Creating a configuration in Network Configurator for EtherNetIP (with and without the Wizard) and transferring (2_EIP_Network_Config(engsub).avi)
• Exporting tag sets from Network Configurator for EtherNetIP and importing them into CX-Programmer (3_Export_network_tag_EIP_NC_to_CX-P(engsub).avi)
• Creating network symbols/variables in CX-Programmer and tranferring them into Network Configurator for EtherNetIP (4_Export_network_tag_CX-P_to_EIP_NC(engsub).avi)
