STEP BY STEP

ETHERNET/IP SET UP

Install the input card. 16 inputs card = 2 bytes. This procedure will set up DI[49] to DI[64] as usable inputs.

  1. PRESS –> [ I/O ]
  2. PRESS –> [ F1 ] [TYPE]
  3. SELECT –> [ 0 ] 0 NEXT
  4. SELECT –> [ 3 ] 3 EtherNet/IP
  5. Using Arrow –> Move right to “Enable” column
  6. PRESS –> [ F5 ] FALSE
  7. Using Arrow –> Move left to highlight OmronNX
  8. PRESS –> [ F4 ] CONFIG
  9. Using Arrow –> Scroll down to the line “Input size (bytes)”
  10. If no Euromap installed, ENTER –> 10 (2 bytes for NX Status and 2 bytes for each input cards)
  11. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  12. If Euromap installed, ENTER –>12 (2 bytes for NX Status and 2 bytes for each input cards)
  13. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  14. PRESS –> [ F3 ] PREV
  15. On Omron NX line, using Arrow, –> Move right to “Enable” column
  16. PRESS –> [ F4 ] TRUE

DIGITAL INPUT SET UP

  1. PRESS –> [ F1 ] [TYPE]
  2. SELECT –> [ 3 ] 3 DIGITAL
  3. PRESS –> [ F3 ] IN/OUT (If not available, PRESS –> [NEXT] )
  4. Display DI
  5. PRESS –> [ F2 ] CONFIG
  6. If no EUROMAP is installed: Modify the range of the first DI[ ] attribution: Instead of 48 write 64.
  7. PRESS –> [ ENTER ] (You will see “PEND.” In yellow at the end of the line)
  8. If Euromap is installed: Set another range of DI[x] like this: With Arrow, Scroll down to line 2
  9. Instead of 208, ENTER –> 64
  10. Move right to “Rack column”, ENTER –> 89
  11. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  12. Move right to “Slot column”, ENTER –> 1
  13. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  14. Move right to “Start column”, ENTER –> 81
  15. PRESS –> [ ENTER ] (You will see “PEND.” In yellow at the end of the line)
  16. PRESS –> [ FCTN ]
  17. SELECT –> [ 0 ] 0 NEXT
  18. SELECT –> [ 8 ] 8 CYCLE POWER
  19. PRESS –> [ YES ]

The Digital input config should look like this:

Bits 17 to 64 are attributed to DI[1] to DI[48]. Bits 65 to 80 are attributed to DI[209] to DI[224] which is the Euromap 67 option. Bits 81 to 96 are attributed to DI[49] to DI[64]. The first 2 bytes of the Digital inputs are attributed to Omron NX status. With this setup, the Euromap input card is the fourth one on the rack. When you add input cards, always put them after the Euromap card. If no Euromap is installed, then you can install them after the ones already on the rack.
