Thank you for choosing us. Before use, please check contents of the package you received as outlined below.
If you have any problems or questions with the product,
please contact our sales office or representatives.
■ PACKAGE INCLUDES:
Network interface module...................................................(1)■ MODEL NO.
Confirm Model No. marking on the product to be exactly
what you ordered.
■ INSTRUCTION MANUALThis manual describes necessary points of caution whenyou use this product, including installation, connection andbasic maintenance procedures.
■ EDS FILE
EDS files are downloadable at our web site.

POINTS OF CAUTION■ CONFORMITY WITH EU DIRECTIVES• The equipment must be mounted inside the instrument
panel of a metal enclosure.
• The actual installation environments such as panel configurations, connected devices, connected wires, may affect the protection level of this unit when it is integrated
in a panel system. The user may have to review the CE
requirements in regard to the whole system and employ
additional protective measures to ensure the CE conformity.

MODELR3-NEIP1■ WIRING• Do not install cables close to noise sources (relay drivecable, high frequency line, etc.).
• Do not bind these cables together with those in which
noises are present. Do not install them in the same duct.
■ AND ....
• The unit is designed to function as soon as power is supplied, however, a warm up for 10 minutes is required forsatisfying complete performance described in the data
sheet.
Note: Not connectable beyond router.

INSTALLATION
Use the Installation Base Model R3-BS, or Model R3-BSW
for free I/O address capability.
Before mounting the Network Interface Module onto theBase, be sure to configure the module as explained below.
■ DATA ALLOCATIONThe setting determines the data area size assigned to each
I/O module mounted on the base.
The data sent/received via EtherNet/IP is mapped according to this setting.
See “COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION” and “TRANSMISSION DATA DESCRIPTIONS”.
■ I/O DATA AREA SIZEThe I/O data area is set with DIP switch (SW3) on the sideof the module. That sets the size of data on the EtherNet/IP.
■ NETWORK SLOTS ON THE BASE
I/O 1

I/O 2I/O n■ HOT SWAPPABLE MODULES• The module can be replaced while the power is ON. Be
sure to replace it when the module is not communicating with a host, as it may affect the system. Replacing
multiple modules at once may greatly change line voltage
levels. We highly recommend to replace them one by one.
■ GENERAL PRECAUTIONS• DO NOT set the switches on the module while the poweris supplied. The switches are used only for maintenancewithout the power.
■ ENVIRONMENT• Indoor use.
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in theair, install the unit inside proper housing with sufficientventilation.
• Do not install the unit where it is subjected to continuousvibration. Do not subject the unit to physical impact.
• Environmental temperature must be within -10 to +55°C(14 to 131°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.

With Model R3-BS base, mount the I/O Modules from theleft end (I/O 1) to the right in order that the Network Module assigns data areas from I/O 1.
Network Module(s) and Power Module are mounted basically at the right end though technically they could be
mounted in any position.
With Model R3-BSW base, there is no limitation in mounting positions as I/O address can be assigned freely to each
module using rotary switches equipped on the base.

R3-NEIP1CHECKING ETHERNET CONNECTION■ IP ADDRESSThe IP address is set with PC Configurator Software (model: R3CON). BOOTP and DHCP are also available.
■ DATA ALLOCATION
Data Allocation Type must be assigned to each I/O module position to specify how many data areas (four types) are to be occupied by each.
Two bits from SW1 and SW2 are assigned to each position on the base.
■ CHECK WIRING
Connect an Ethernet cable to the front RJ-45 jack.
■ CHECK LED
When wiring is correct, LINK is turned on.
■ CHECK R3-NEIP1 CONNECTIONEnter “ping command” on the Windows MS-DOS as follows:		 C:¥WINDOWS>ping ***.***.***.***		 (***.***.***.***: Enter IP address in decimal.)		 ping ***.***.***.*** with 32 bytes of data:		 Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64		 Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64		 Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64		 Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64		 Ping statistics for ***.***.***.***		 Packets:Sent=4,Received=4,Lost=0(0% loss)
Replies in case of normal connection are as shown above. If the connection cannot be established normally due to e.g. wrong
IP address, other replies such as “time over” will be received.
■ CHECK CONNECTION TO THE APPLICATION SOFTWARECheck Point 1: LINK LED
When a normal connection is established, the front LINK is turned on regardless of data sending/receiving status. Checkpower supply to the hub in case that these LEDs are not on.
Check Point 2: MS, NS and Ethernet indicators
When the module transmits or receives data correctly, MS, NS and TX/RX indicators turn on. Since the transfer rate is high,
TX/RX indicator seems to blink.

Module Status, Error Status and Data Error Status are assigned to the last three words of the output data respectively.
Each module can handle either input or output data.
• Module Status indicates whether individual I/O modules are mounted or not. The bit corresponding to the mounted slot
turns to “1,” and the unmounted slot to “0.”• Error Status indicates error status for each module as described below. The bit corresponding to such module turns to “1.”R3-TSx, R3-RSx, R3-US4: Input burnout

I/O DATA DESCRIPTIONS
The data allocations for typical I/O modules are shown below.
Refer to the manual for each module for detailed data allocations.
■ ANALOG DATA (16-bit data, models: R3-SV4, YV4, DS4, YS4 and US4, etc.)
16-bit binary data.
Basically, 0 to 100% of the selected I/O range is converted into 0 to 10000 (binary).
-15 to 0 % is a negative range represented in 2’s complement.
In case of R3-US4, -10 to 0% is a negative range represented in 2’s complement.
150■ TEMPERATURE DATA (16-bit data, models: R3-RS4, TS4 and US4, etc.)
16-bit binary data.
With °C temperature unit, raw data is multiplied by 10. For example, 25.5°C is converted into 255.
With °F temperature unit, the integer section of raw data is directly converted into the data. For example, 135.4°F is converted into 135.
Minus temperature is converted into negative values, represented in 2’s complements.
150■ ANALOG DATA (16-bit data, models: R3-CT4A, CT4B, etc.)
16-bit binary data.
Integer obtained by multiplying unit value (A) by 100.
In case of CLSE-R5, integer obtained by multiplying unit value (A) by 1000.
150■ ACCUMULATED COUNT DATA (32-bit data, models: R3-PA2, PA4A, WT1, WT4, etc.)
32-bit binary data is used for accumulated counts and encoder positions.
Lower 16 bits are allocated from the lowest address to higher ones, higher 16 bits in turn.
