2．Terms and Definitions

2. Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions used in this guide are given below.
Term Explanation and Definition
node A controller and a device are connected to an EtherNet/IP network via
EtherNet/IP ports. EtherNet/IP recognizes each EtherNet/IP port
connected to the network as one node. When a device with two
EtherNet/IP ports is connected to the EtherNet/IP network, EtherNet/IP
recognizes this device as two nodes. EtherNet/IP achieves
communications between controllers or between a controller and a device
by exchanging data between these nodes connected to the network.
tag A minimum unit of the data that is exchanged over the EtherNet/IP
network is called a tag. The tag is defined as a network variable or as a
physical address.
tag set In the EtherNet/IP network, a data unit that consists of two or more tags
can be exchanged. This data unit consisting of two or more tags for the
data exchange is called a tag set.
tag data links The standard EtherNet/IP implicit communications are called tag data
links. In EtherNet/IP, tags and tag sets can be exchanged cyclically
between nodes without using a user program.
connection A connection is used to exchange data as a unit within which data
concurrency is maintained. The connection consists of tags or tag sets.
Creating concurrent tag data links between specified nodes is called a
"connection establishment". When a connection is established, tags or tag
sets that configure the connection are exchanged between the specified
nodes concurrently.
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 communications load if one output tag set is sent to more than one
node.
originator and
target / scanner
and adapter
To perform tag data links, one node requests the opening of a
communications line called a "connection". The node that requests to
open the connection is called an "originator" or a "scanner", and the node
that receives the request is called a "target" or an "adapter".
tag data link
parameters Tag data link parameters are the setting data to perform tag data links. They include the data to set tags, tag sets, and connections.

2．Terms and Definitions

EDS file
(for EtherNet/IP) A file that contains I/O data for an EtherNet/IP device and parameters that
can be set via EtherNet/IP.
DeviceNet
Master / Slave A DeviceNet Master controls DeviceNet communications.
A DeviceNet Slave receives output data that is sent from a DeviceNet
Master, and sends input data to the DeviceNet Master.
At least one DeviceNet Master is required for a DeviceNet system.
remote I/O
communications A function that constantly transfers I/O data between a DeviceNet Master and DeviceNet Slaves. The users can use I/O data of DeviceNet Slaves
without programming for sending and receiving data.
node address
(MAC ID) A node address is an address to identify a device connected to DeviceNet.
With DeviceNet, a MAC (Media Access Control) ID is used as a node
address. A node address is thus called a MAC ID.
EDS file
(for DeviceNet) A file that contains I/O data of a DeviceNet Slave and parameters that can
be set via DeviceNet.

4. Overview
This guide describes procedures for connecting a Hilscher netTAP NT 100 Gateway Device
(NT 100-RE-DN, hereinafter referred to as the "netTAP") to an OMRON NJ/NX-series
Machine Automation Controller (hereinafter referred to as the "Controller") via EtherNet/IP
and for checking their communication status.
Refer to Section 6. EtherNet/IP Settings and Section 7. EtherNet/IP Connection Procedure to
understand setting methods and key points to operate EtherNet/IP tag data links.
The DeviceNet Slave (made up of DRT2-OD16 and XWT-ID16) produced by OMRON is used
in this guide as an example of a connected device via DeviceNet, in order to operate the
netTAP.
