How to Connect OMRON NJ and NX Series
Open Built-in EtherNet/IP Port Settings
In the tree menu on the left-hand side, select Controller Setup » Built-in EtherNet/IP Port Settings.
Set the FINS/UDP Port Number
Click the FINS button (marked in the red frame), and enter9600as the FINS/UDP port number. Select Automatic Generation as the conversion method.
Select Global Variables
Select Global Variables to set the PLC address.
Configure Absolute Address Mapping
The AT column should be an absolute address mapping to Omron Ethernet.
