3 Precautions for Safe Use
■Handling with Care
Do not drop the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router or subject it to excessive vibra-
tion or mechanical shock. The EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router may be dam-
aged and may not function properly.
■Installation and Storage Environment
Do not use or store the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router in any of the following
locations:
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified
in the specifications
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tem-
perature
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases
• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts

xvii
Precautions for Safe Use 3
• Locations subject to water, oil, or chemicals
• Locations subject to shock or vibration
Take appropriate and sufficient measures when installing systems in the fol-
lowing locations. Inappropriate and insufficient measures may result in mal-
function.
• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity
• Locations close to power supplies
■Installation and Mounting
• Use the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router within an enclosure with IP54 pro-
tection or higher according to IEC/EN 60529.
• Use DIN rail (TH35-7.5/TH35-15 according to IEC 60715) to install the
EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router into the control panel. Mount the EtherNet/
IP-DeviceNet Router to the DIN rail using PFP-M End Plates (not included
with the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router) to prevent it falling off the DIN rail
because of vibration.
• Space must be provided around the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router, at
least 5 mm from its side and at least 50 mm from its top and bottom sur-
faces, for ventilation and wiring.
■Installation and Wiring
• Use the following to wire external I/O devices to the EtherNet/IP-
DeviceNet Router.
• Disconnect the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router from the power supply
before starting wiring.
• Properly apply the specified voltage to the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router
inputs. Applying an inappropriate DC voltage or any AC voltage may inter-
fere with functionality, may reduce safety, or may cause the EtherNet/IP-
DeviceNet Router to be damaged or burnt.
• Be sure to separate the communications cables and I/O cables from near
high-voltage/high-current lines.
• Be cautious not to get your fingers caught when attaching connectors to
the plugs on the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router.
• Tighten the DeviceNet connector screws correctly (0.25 to 0.3 N·m).
• Incorrect wiring may lead to loss of safety functions. Wire conductors cor-
rectly and verify the operation of the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router before
using the system in which the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router is incorpo-
rated.
• After wiring is completed, be sure to remove label for wire clipping preven-
tion on the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router to enable heat to escape or
proper cooling.
■Power Supply Selection
Use a DC power supply satisfying the following requirements.
Solid wire 0.2 to 2.5 mm2(AWG 24 to AWG 12)
Stranded (flexi-
ble) wire 0.34 to 1.5 mm2(AWG 22 to AWG 16)
Stranded wires should be prepared by attaching insulated bar
terminals (DIN 46228-4 standard compatible) to the ends before
connecting them.

xviii
Regulations and Standards 4
• The secondary circuits of the DC power supply must be isolated from the
primary circuit by double insulation or reinforced insulation.
• The DC power supply must satisfy the requirements for class 2 circuits or
limited voltage/current circuits given in UL 508.
• The output hold time must be 20 ms or longer.
■Periodic Inspections and Maintenance
• Disconnect the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router from the power supply
before replacing the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router. Devices connected to
the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router may operate unexpectedly.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router.
Doing so may lead to loss of safety functions.
■Disposal
• Be cautions not to injure yourself when dismantling the EtherNet/IP-
DeviceNet Router.

EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router Section 1-1
1-1 EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router
The NE1A-EDR01 EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router is an FA router with one
Ethernet port and one DeviceNet port, and is used for routing messages
between Ethernet and DeviceNet Networks. In this manual the NE1A-EDR01
EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router is called the “ED Router.”
1-1-1 Accessing All Devices on a Network from a Network Configurator
Using an ED Router makes it possible to set devices, such as NE1A-series
Controllers and DST1-series Slaves, from a Network Configurator running on
a PC connected to an Ethernet or EtherNet/IP Network.
In addition, when multiple DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety Networks are con-
figured for an Ethernet or EtherNet/IP connection using an ED Router, it is
possible to set devices such as NE1A-series Controllers and DST1-series
Slaves connected to another DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety network from a
Network Configurator running on a PC connected to a DeviceNet or NE1A-
series USB port.
Note (1) To access other networks, use the NE1A-SCPU01-V1 (unit version 2.0 or
later) or the NE1A-SCPU02 (unit version 2.0 or later) to connect the Net-
work Configurator.
(2) To access other networks, use Network Configurator version 2.0@or
higher.

EtherNet/IP-DeviceNet Router Section 1-1
1-1-2 Monitoring DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety Systems via Ethernet
from Controllers Made by Other Manufacturers
Devices on a DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety network can be accessed from
general-purpose controllers (e.g., PLCs or computers) in an Ethernet network
using the UDP service.
This enables monitoring a DeviceNet or DeviceNet Safety control system via
Ethernet from a machine controller or monitor computer that does not support
a DeviceNet interface. This can be used to easily add a DeviceNet Safety con-
trol system to an existing system.
