EtherNet/IP Communication
The Plus CPU module can be connected to an Ethernet network using Ethernet port 2 and communicate with other EtherNet/IP
communication-compatible external devices. EtherNet/IP communication uses standard Ethernet technologies, which allows
networks to be built that include various Ethernet-compatible devices. For details on EtherNet/IP communications, see the "FC6A
Series MICROSmart Communication Manual".
