Unlock Seamless Data Exchange with Tag Data Links
The best feature of the CJ1W-EIP21S is its ability to use tag data links. This function changes how your PLCs communicate. Instead of writing complicated ladder logic for sending and receiving data, you just configure the tags you want to share using the Network Configurator software. The unit handles the rest of the communication automatically in the background.
Easy PLC Integration and Product Configuration
The CJ1W-EIP21S is an expansion module that mounts directly onto an Omron CJ-series PLC backplane, just like any other I/O unit. It draws power and communicates with the CJ2M CPU unit or other CJ-series CPUs directly through the rack. This tight integration makes for a clean and efficient design.
Configuration is done using the intuitive Network Configurator tool, which is part of the Omron CX-One Software Suite. This software provides a graphical interface to set the IP address, configure tag data links, and manage all your devices on the Ethernet network. You don’t need to be a network expert to create a powerful communication system.
Access Detailed Unit Status and Diagnostics
The CJ1W-EIP21S gives you easy access to detailed diagnostic information. You can monitor the status of the network, check for any communication error, and see the health of each connection directly from your PLC or HMI.
This unit has built-in status indicators that provide a quick visual check. For a deeper look, you can access special memory areas in the PLC to see detailed status codes and communication cycle times. This helps you find and fix problems fast, minimizing downtime.
