This document is an additional manual for the GP-PRO/PBIII PLC connection manual, which mainly introduces the connection method of OMRON SYSMAC CS1 series Ethernet, including installation of driver, connection of PLC, etc.
The manual provides step‑by‑step instructions for installing the required driver files (CS1E.EPN, CS1E.PTO) and configuring the GP‑Screen Editor software so the GP‑PRO/PBIII can communicate with an Omron SYSMAC CS1 Series PLC. It also lists the compatible GP Ethernet units and optional transceiver modules.
Network configuration details are included, such as default IP addresses, node and network address settings, and how to set these values in the GP‑Screen Editor. Limitations on device address ranges, the maximum number of PLCs that can be linked, and error‑code references are also documented.
| Maximum number of PLCs per GP unit | 32 |
|---|---|
| Maximum consecutive addresses for Index Register | 32 words |
| Default GP Network Address | 0 |
| Default GP Node Address | 1 |
Up to 32 PLCs can be connected to a single GP unit.
The default network address is 0 and the default node address is 1.
Error code 00 indicates a setup error related to the IP address.
An optional Ethernet unit such as CS1E‑ETN01 is required when using GP‑77R series units.
