Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect your Omron PLC to a PC running EBPro. Make sure the PC and PLC’s IP addresses are on the same subnet, otherwise, they won’t communicate directly. Open EBPro. Create a new project. Select your HMI model.

In the System Parameter Settings, select New Device/Server. Change your Device Type to Omron > Omron CJ1/CS1/CP Ethernet-FINS/TCP. Click Ok.

Select Settings and enter the IP address for your Omron PLC. Click Ok to close the IP Address Settings. Click Ok again to confirm the settings are saved. Then close the Device Settings window.

To import existing tags from a project in CX Controller, open the System Parameter Settings. Select Import Tags. Select Browse and select the .cxr file with your tags. Click Import, and a new window will appear with the tags available to import. Check the tags you’d like to import and then hit Ok.

Note: To export tags in CX Controller, right-click Symbols in the project tree. Select Reusable File and then Save as to a desired location.
