[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured
external to the programmable controller.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration
Manual.
(4) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in an
output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.

 [Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
● For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals relevant to the
network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
● Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to
each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the
"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the
module used.
● If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
● For the operating status of each EtherNet/IP device after a communication failure, refer to Page 122
TROUBLESHOOTING in this manual. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure
may result in an accident.
● Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate
safely even if communications fail in multiple EtherNet/IP devices. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

2
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
● After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design circuits so
that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
● Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the settings are being
written. Doing so will make the data in the flash ROM and SD memory card undefined. The values
need to be set in the buffer memory and written to the flash ROM and SD memory card again. Doing
so also may cause malfunction or failure of the module.
● When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as the remote
RUN/STOP functions), select "Do Not Open by Program" for "Opening Method" of "Module
Parameter". If "Open by Program" is selected, an execution of the remote STOP function causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the line, and external
devices cannot execute the remote RUN function.

3
 [Security Precautions]
WARNING
● To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and
the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other
cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls,
virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.

[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the Safety
Guidelines included with the base unit. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction,

[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● After installation and wiring, attach a blank cover module (RG60) to each empty slot and an included
extension connector protective cover to the unused extension cable connector before powering on the
system for operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
● Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
● Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
● Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in malfunction or damage to modules or cables.
In addition, the weight of the cables may put stress on modules in an environment of strong vibrations
and shocks.
Do not clamp the extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics
of the cables, resulting in malfunction.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.

5
 [Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block,
loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or
damage to the module or cable.
● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
● A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat
dissipation before system operation.
● Programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the
power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block. Wiring and replacement of a

● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or
throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the
battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CAUTION
● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data
of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification,
parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller,
read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
● Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
● Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
● Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the programmable controller. Failure to do so
may cause malfunction.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the

 • Listen Only is a connection for the target of which connection such as Exclusive Owner and Input Only that
is set for multicast communications is already opened. It can receive only multicast-type data sent to the
RJ71EIP91.
• The connection of Listen Only cannot be opened when the connection such as Exclusive Owner and Input
Only that is set for multicast communications is not opened.
• Even when communications are performed normally with the target that is opened using Listen Only, the
data receiving will be stopped if all the communications with other originators that are opened using the
connection such as Exclusive Owner and Input Only that is set for multicast communications.

Instance ID
The instance ID is a number that indicates an EtherNet/IP device and is specified when the EtherNet/IP communication
connection is established.
With settings from the RJ71EIP91, the instance ID is not specified. Instead, the connection number is specified to determine
the target.

Communication timing
Class1 instance communications are performed at the RPI interval set with the RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side.
The RPI can be set for each connection.
The communication trigger type can be selected among "Cyclic", "Application", and "Change of State". ( Page 85

Data transmission with Change of State is performed according to the following procedure.

1. Setting of EtherNet/IP Configuration Tool

Set the following items in the setting of EtherNet/IP Configuration Tool. 1
• Set the trigger type to "Change of State".
• Set "Inhibit Time Mode". (When setting "Inhibit Time Mode" to "Custom", set "Inhibit Time".)
2. Connection establishment ((1) to (3) shown above)
The connection is established when 'EtherNet/IP communication start request' (Y10) on the RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side is
turned on, the connection open request is transmitted, and then a response is received from the EtherNet/IP device on the
adapter side.
3. Application Trigger request ((5) shown above)
During communication with the EtherNet/IP device, the RJ71EIP91 turns on 'Application Trigger Request (Class1)'
(Un\G27008 to Un\G27023).
4. Transmitting data ((6) shown above)
Data stored in 'Class1 Output Area' (Un\G196608 to Un\G229375) is transmitted when the specified "Inhibit Time" has
elapsed after 'Application Trigger Acceptance (Class1)' (Un\G27024 to Un\G27039) on the RJ71EIP91 is turned on.
5. Completion of Application Trigger
After the processing for data transmission completes, 'Application Trigger Completion (Class1)' (Un\G27040 to Un\G27055)
on the RJ71EIP91 turns on.

• For the operation timing of EtherNet/IP communications, refer to the following.

Page 150 EtherNet/IP communication start request (Y10)
• For the operation timing of data transmission using the Application Trigger, refer to the following.
Page 161 Application Trigger (Class1) (Un\G27008 to Un\G27055)
• When Application Trigger or Change of State is used, data will be transmitted automatically if no data was
transmitted during the period from the last transmitting of data to the end of the RPI.
• To transmit data only by turning off and on 'Application Trigger Request (Class1)' (Un\G27008 to
Un\G27023), set 'Application Trigger operating specification request' (Un\G16631) to 10H.
• When Change of State is used, data is transmitted when the specified "Inhibit Time" has elapsed regardless
of the setting of 'Application Trigger operating specification request' (Un\G16631).
• During Class1 tag communications, heartbeat is transmitted by turning off and on 'Application Trigger
Request (Class1)' (Un\G27008 to Un\G27023) when 'Application Trigger operating specification request'
(Un\G16631) is set to 10H.
• When 'Application Trigger operating specification request' (Un\G16631) is set to 10H (output data is not
transmit automatically at the RPI interval), the request is not transmit automatically. Therefore, when
Application Trigger is used, transmit the request within the monitoring time of send/receive timeout.*1*2 If the
external device cannot receive the request within the monitoring time of send/receive timeout, the timeout is
detected and the connection is disconnected. In this case, a re-connection establishment is required to
send data again.

*1 Be sure to receive the request on the external device within the monitoring time of send/receive timeout.
Transmit the request in a shorter period of time than the monitoring time of send/receive timeout, considering the transmission
processing time and data transmission time in a module.
*2 Transmit the request from Consumer side (originator) to the target because the heartbeat needs to be sent even "Output Size" is 0
bytes.

 Function overview
Class1 tag communications are a function for establishing a connection between the RJ71EIP91 modules or EtherNet/IP
devices using a tag name and performing data communications between them.
This function is used for performing cyclic (Implicit) communications between scanners supported tag communications on the
programmable controller.
Data communications are periodically performed between tags that have the same Tag name and the same Data Size using
Producer Tag and Consumer Tag.

Cyclic (Implicit) communications cannot be used with tag communications since an adapter does not support
tag communications.

This section provides a program example using the client function of UCMM message communications.

System configuration example

The following system configuration is used to explain the program example of UCMM message communications.

System configuration
GX Works3 (1) (2)

(1) Programmable controller system (scanner)

• Power supply module: R61P
• CPU module: R04CPU
• EtherNet/IP network interface module (client): RJ71EIP91 (start I/O number: 0000H to 001FH, IP address: 192.168.3.51)
(2) Programmable controller system (adapter)
• Power supply module: R61P
• CPU module: R04CPU
• EtherNet/IP network interface module (server): RJ71EIP91 (start I/O number: 0000H to 001FH, IP address: 192.168.3.2)

Communication content
The RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side is set to the client and the RJ71EIP91 on the adapter side is set to the server. Then,
command requests are transmitted from the client to the server.
Command requests use the buffer memory of the RJ71EIP91 on the scanner side to operate the program.
After receiving a command request, the server executes the command processing and returns a command response to the
client.

Appendix 1 Module Label
Module labels can be used to set the I/O signals and buffer memory of the RJ71EIP91.

Module label structure

Module label names are defined with the following structure.
"instance name"_"module number"."label name"
"instance name"_"module number"."label name"_D

Ex.
EIP91_1.bSts_ModuleReady

■Instance name
Instance name of the RJ71EIP91 is as shown below.
Module model name Instance name
RJ71EIP91 EIP91

■Module number
Module numbers start from 1 and are added to identify modules that have the same instance name.

■Label name
A label name unique to the module.

■_D
This symbol indicates that the module label is for direct access. If this symbol is not present, the label is for refreshing.
Refreshing and direct access differ as shown below.
A
Type Description Access timing
Refresh The values written to and read from the module label are reflected on the module as Refreshing
a batch during refreshing.
This function makes it possible to reduce the program execution time.
Direct access The values written to and read from the module label are immediately reflected on Writing to/reading from module labels
the module.
The program execution time is longer than the refresh time, but the responsiveness
increases.
