1-2 System Configuration and
Configuration Devices
The basic configuration for an EtherNet/IP system includes one Ethernet switch to which nodes are
attached in star configuration using twisted-pair cable.
The following products are also required to build a network. Obtain them in advance.
* The CJ1W-EIP21 can be mounted only to an NJ-series CPU Unit with unit version 1.01 or later and Sysmac Stu-
dio version 1.02 or higher.

CS-series CS1W-EIP21 EtherNet/IP Unit
These Units are used to connect to an EtherNet/IP net-
work.
(2) Twisted-pair cable The twisted-pair cable has a RJ45 Modular Connector
at each end. This cable is used to connect the built-in
EtherNet/IP port or EtherNet/IP Unit to an Ethernet
switch. Use an STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of cat-
egory 5, 5e, or higher.
(3) Ethernet switch This is a relay device that connects multiple nodes in a
star LAN. For details on recommended devices to con-
figure a network, refer to 2-1-1 Recommended Network
Devices.
