1-1-1 Features

Data Exchange
The CP1W-EIP61 is an EtherNet/IP adapter that allows intelligent devices, such as Omron CJ / CS
series PLCs or NSJ hybrid controller with EtherNet/IP modules to very quickly and easily share data
with CP1L and CP1H PLCs.

CP1L/H PLC as a Programmable I/O Module

The CP1L/CP1H PLC can function as a programmable I/O module capable of running a local program
or act as a node in an EtherNet/IP network to exchange data such as positioning or I/O status with a
CS/CJ-series controller.

Implicit Messaging (Datalink)

The CP1W-EIP61 supports the Implicit Messaging (Datalink) function of EtherNet/IP and Explicit Mes-
saging to data areas of the PLC, or to the program area of the PLC. Data area manipulation and pro-
gram loading can be accomplished via FINS UDP.

PLC Support
The adapter mounts in an Option Board Slot on the front of a CP1L/H PLC, and can be used in all
CP1L/H PLCs with an available Option Board Slot. The CP1W-EIP61 is not supported by the CP1E
PLC.

Normal Mode
The CP1W-EIP61 adapter allows other PLCs to connect to an Omron CP1L/H PLC and share up to 100
words of data in each direction with the originator PLC.

I/O Block Mode

Special assemblies have been provided to allow the originator PLC to directly read the inputs and
directly control the outputs of the CP1L/H.

2-2 Adapter Setup

2-2-1 Configuring the Adapter

The CP1W-EIP61 is assigned a default IP address of 192.168.250.11. The IP address can be changed
using a web browser and the default IP address of the adapter. A static IP address must be assigned to
the PC’s Ethernet card for this purpose. Enter the IP address of the adapter (192.168.250.11) in the
web browsers address field to access the configuration page. Enter the desired new IP address
(192.168.1.154 shown as an example), subnet mask, and default gateway (if applicable).

 Behavior on Loss of I/O Connection (I/O Block Mode Only)

When a loss of I/O connection occurs while in I/O Block Mode, there are two selectable options for
the behavior of the CP1W-EIP61.
• CIO Outputs Stay the Same
• CIO Outputs Set to Zero
When CIO Outputs Stay the Same is selected, the data in CIO 0100 to 0119 will remain the same
upon loss of connection until the connection is re-established and new data is present.
When CIO Outputs Set to Zero is selected, the data in CIO 0100 to 0119 will be set to a value of
zero upon loss of connection until the connection is re-established and new data is present.
Clicking Apply Setting will save the changes and configure the adapter with the new settings.

2-2-2 Recovering a lost IP address setting

If the IP address is lost or unknown, inspecting PLC memory areas can reveal the CP1W-EIP61’s cur-
rent IP address setting. Data memory areas D1200 ad 1201 store the IP address in the following for-
mat.
• D1200 stores the first and second octets in hexadecimal
• D1201 stores the third and fourth octets in hexadecimal
Example for an IP address of 192.168.1.154: D1200 = C0A8, D1201= 019A

2 Operation

2-3 Operation Modes

The operating mode of the CP1W-EIP61 adapter operation can be determined with the configuration of
the Originator PLC using Network Configurator. See 2-5 Configuration Example for more information.

2-3-1 Normal Mode

In normal operation, the CP1W-EIP61 adapter allows other PLCs to connect to an Omron CP1L/H PLC
and share up to 100 words of data in each direction with the Originator PLC. Assemblies are provided
to produce and consume 20 bytes (10 words), 40 bytes (20 words) 100 bytes (50 words) or 200 bytes
(100 words) of PLC data.
The Produced Data (output from the CP1L/H) starts at D1000. The Consumed Data (input to the
CP1L/H) starts at D1100. The size of the Produced and Consumed data will change as a function of the
selected assembly, but the starting memory areas will remain the same. The current IP address of the
CP1W-EIP61 adapter is stored in D1200 and D1201, as shown in 2-2-2 Recovering a lost IP address
setting.

Fixed Addresses Usage

D1000 to D1099 Produced Data

D1100 to D1199 Consumed Data
D1200 to D1201 IP Address Configuration

2-3-2 I/O Block Mode

In I/O Block Mode, special assemblies have been provided to allow the Originator PLC to directly read
the inputs and directly control the outputs of the CP1L/H. The maximum I/O configuration of a CP1L/H
can be used, and the I/O is mapped directly over EtherNet/IP without the need of programming or addi-
tional configuration of the CP1L/H PLC. In this case, the CP1L/H PLC functions as an I/O block.
While this configuration is flexible and easy to configure, it should be used in applications that do not
require high speed I/O. The typical response time of an input or output on a CP1L/H using the CP1W-
EIP61 in I/O Block Mode when viewed from the Originator PLC is approximately 175 ms, using a 10 ms
RPI for EtherNet/IP.
In I/O Block Mode, the user can choose if the CP1L/H PLC outputs should be turned off upon loss of
communications to the Originator PLC, or if the output state should be maintained. This is done through
the CP1W-CIF61 configuration Web Page (see 2-2-1 Configuring the Adapter).
The I/O Assemblies for I/O Block Mode are 120 and 121.
The Input and Output connection size for I/O Block Mode is fixed at 40 bytes in and 40 bytes out,
regardless of the actual amount of I/O connected to the CP1L/H. The I/O mapping of the CP1L/H I/O
into the Originator PLC follows the channel I/O layout of the CP1L/H PLC, as shown below.

2-4 Applications
The CP1W-EIP61 has been developed to allow Omron CP1L and CP1H PLCs to function as program-
mable I/O modules. The adapter is an EtherNet/IP Connection Target, meaning the adapter cannot
establish a connection to another device. A device, such as a CJ or CS series PLC or NSJ hybrid con-
troller with an EtherNet/IP module, functioning as a Connection Originator, must be the device used to
establish the Datalink (implicit messaging) connection to the CP1W-EIP61. Only 1 Originator can
establish a connection to the CP1L/H PLC. The CP1W-EIP61 does not support communications to
multiple Originator PLCs.

2-8 Grid Connect EtherNet/IP Adapter Application and Setup Guide

 2 Operation

The CP1W-EIP61 also supports FINS UDP communications, allowing NS series HMIs, PLCs or CX-
Programmer programming software to connect via FINS UDP while maintaining EtherNet/IP connec-
tions.

2-7 Using an NS-series HMI with a CP1W-

EIP61 Unit
When adding the CP1H or CP1L PLC as a Host in CX-Designer, specify the Host Type as Sysmac-
CS1/CJ1/CP1, the Network Address as 1, and the Node Address as the last octet of the IP address of
the CP1W-EIP61. 151 would be the Node Address if the IP address were 192.168.1.151. Select ‘Use
CP1W-CIF41’ as shown below. This limits the Frame Length of the packets sent to the CP1W-EIP61 to
the appropriate size.

2-8 Performance

2-8-1 Response Time

The average response times for produced and consumed data connections between an Omron CS/CJ-
series Controller and a CP1L/CP1H PLC are shown below for an adapter used in Normal Mode.

Method 20 Bytes 40 bytes 100 Bytes 200 Bytes

Produced 25 ms 30 ms 35 ms 45 ms
Consumed 25ms 30ms 35ms 45ms

These values are based upon a 10 ms RPI setting, and an increased Peripheral Servicing time in the
CP1L / CP1H. Other factors such as network bandwidth, PLC scan time, FINS communications traffic,
etc may affect the actual throughput.
The Datalink function of EtherNet/IP is a Producer / Consumer model function, as opposed to a Com-
mand and Response model. This makes the throughput from a single node not significantly different
from the throughput of multiple nodes. Therefore, the data shown below holds true for 1 CP1L / CP1H
PLC connected to 1 CS / CJ series PLC, or multiple CP1L / CP1H PLCs connected to 1 CS / CJ series
PLC.

Grid Connect EtherNet/IP Adapter Application and Setup Guide 2-19

2 Operation

2-9 Requested Packet Interval and

Connection Size Settings
The CP1W-EIP61 does not provide diagnostic information to the CP1L/H PLC about the status of the
connection to other PLCs. A ‘heartbeat’ should be programmed into the produced and consumed data
areas for this purpose.
When establishing a connection from a CJ or CS or NSJ series PLC, the user configures the
Requested Packet Interval (RPI), which is the rate at which the CP1W-EIP61 and CJ or CS-series
PLCs will produce data. The default rate set by the Network Configurator for EtherNet/IP is 50 ms.
This can be reduced to 10 ms for faster data throughput.
The size of the connection used will affect the data update rate to and from the CP1L/H PLC through
the CP1W-EIP61.
Use Network Configurator for EtherNet/IP to adjust the rate of the packet interval for the CJ or CS-
series PLC as shown below.

Precautions for Correct Use

Setting the Requested Packet Interval to a value below 10 ms will not increase the network
throughput and it will un-necessarily increase network traffic.
