Using a Private Address for the EtherNet/IP Unit
Conditions for Using
Communications
Applications
When the EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port has a private address,
communications applications can be used under the following conditions:
■
FINS Communications Service
• The FINS communications service can be executed on the intranet
between EtherNet/IP Units and built-in EtherNet/IP ports with private
addresses only.
A device such as a personal computer (with a FINS application, including
the CX-Programmer) cannot connect online and communicate over the
Internet with an EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port that has a pri-
vate address. FINS communications are also not possible over the Inter-
net between EtherNet/IP Units and or built-in EtherNet/IP ports with
private addresses.
• Either FINS/TCP or FINS/UDP can be used for the FINS communications
service.
• With FINS/UDP, all of the EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port IP
address conversion methods can be used.
