EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related
EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the
overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to
EMC standards (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the
standards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by
the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.

Use the TCP/IP version of the FINS communications service (i.e., FINS/TCP).
FINS/TCP is a new function supported by these Ethernet Units (CS1WETN21 and CJ1W-ETN21). It provides automatic recovery at the TCP/IP layer
from communications errors (such as packet loss) that occur during multilevel
routing. For CX-Programmer (version 4.0 or higher), FINS/TCP can be used
to directly connect to the PLC online. To use lower versions of the CX-Programmer with FINS/TCP, use FinsGateway (version 2003 or higher) as personal computer middleware.
Use the TCP/IP version of the FINS communications service (i.e., FINS/TCP).
FINS/TCP is a new function supported by these Ethernet Units (CS1WETN21 and CJ1W-ETN21). It provides automatic recovery at the TCP/IP layer
from communications errors (such as packet loss) resulting from unreliable
connections. For CX-Programmer (version 4.0 or higher), FINS/TCP can be
used to directly connect to the PLC online. To use lower versions of the CXProgrammer with FINS/TCP, use FinsGateway (version 2003 or higher) as

Depending on whether or not the connection will be within the same segment,
either use an IP address conversion method for dynamic IP addresses in the
UDP/IP version of the FINS communications service or use the TCP/IP version of the FINS communications service.
It is possible to connect online to a PLC using the CX-Programmer from a
computer serving as a temporarily connected node or a permanent DHCP client.
For CX-Programmer (version 4.0 or higher), FINS/TCP can be used to directly
connect to the PLC online. To use lower versions of the CX-Programmer with

Same Segment
Use the UDP/IP version of the FINS communications service (i.e., FINS/
UDP), and construct applications using the SEND(090), RECV(098), and
CMND(490) instructions in the ladder program. FINS/UDP is supported by
many OMRON products, and is compatible with earlier Ethernet Units (CS1WETN01/ETN11 and CJ1W-ETN11). The protocol processing for FINS/UDP is
simpler than for FINS/TCP, giving FINS/UDP certain advantages in terms of
performance. Another feature of FINS/UDP is that it can be used for broadcasting.
On the other hand, with FINS/UDP it is necessary to provide measures, such
as retries, for handling communications errors.
Connecting within the same segment:
Use FINS/UDP.

Monitoring PLC Changes and Sending Equipment Status to the Operator by E-mail
OperationWhen the mail send function is used, automatic communications applications
via the Internet can be constructed relatively easily. With this Ethernet Unit,
the following mail triggers can be set as PLC changes. When these settings
can be used, no special ladder program is required for sending e-mail.
• When a particular bit (the Mail Send Switch) turns ON
• When values change in particular words (=, <>, <, <=, >=, >)
• When a particular bit changes (either OFF to ON or ON to OFF)
• When a change occurs at the Ethernet Unit (stored in error log)
• When a change occurs at the CPU Unit (e.g., a non-fatal error, a fatal
error, or a mode change)
• At regular intervals
The following data can be sent by e-mail:
• Text (user-created text strings (ASCII data), Ethernet Unit error log data,
and status data)
• Attached files (IOM data created automatically by the Ethernet Unit, data
tables, and files in File Memory)
To use the mail send function, there must be a separate SMTP server on the
network. When using the SMTP server of an Internet Service Provider (ISP),
security measures, such as POP before or SMTP, may be required. (This Unit
handles POP before SMTP.) In addition to the IP address, the host name used
for the DNS service can be specified for the SMTP/POP3 server.
