6 totalHow do I set up the IP address for the Nordson ProBlue P7 melter and its controller?
For the ProBlue P7, connect Switching hub and Personal computer with a LAN cable. Install the configuration tool 'IPConfig' and start it to select 'Enable internal DHCP server', then click OK. Turn ON the Melter and scan for devices in IPConfig to set the Melter's IP address manually if needed: IP address 192.168.250.2, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0, DHCP Off.
How do I connect the ProBlue P7 melter to the Controller using EtherNet/IP?
Follow these steps: Establish an online connection with Sysmac Studio and set up EtherNet/IP port settings (IP address 192.168.250.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0). Create global variables needed for tag data links in Sysmac Studio, export them to CSV format, and import this into Network Configurator to register tags and set connections between devices on the network configuration pane.
What are the LED indicator statuses that show normal tag data link performance?
For ProBlue P7: Link (Activity), Link (Module Status), Link (Network Status), and Activity LEDs should be green lit. For Controller (NX/NJ series): NET RUN Green, NET ERR Not lit, LINK/ACT flashing yellow.
How do I check that the data being sent between ProBlue P7 melter and controller is correct?
In Sysmac Studio's Watch Tab Page, enter variables such as EIP002_Command_OUT, EIP002_ChannelNumber_OUT etc., set send data for the reading command (EIP002_Command_OUT value of 3), verify that online values update correctly with no faults or alerts reported.
What should I do if the Nordson melter and OMRON controller cannot establish an online connection?
Check the LED indicators on both devices for status. The Network Connection icon in Network Configurator should turn blue indicating a successful connect when Ethernet links are established properly between them (IP addresses set correctly, LAN cables connected).
How do I troubleshoot when there is an error connecting tag data links between ProBlue melter and controller?
Check the communication status in LEDs, confirm correct IP addresses set up on both devices, review settings in Sysmac Studio and Network Configurator ensuring proper registration of tags and connections (check Edit Device Parameters dialog).

2.Terms and Definitions
2. Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions used in this guide are given below.
|Term|Explanation and Definition| |---|---| |node|A node refers to a relay point, a junction point or an end point on an EtherNet/IP network made up of devices having an EtherNet/IP port. A device with one EtherNet/IP port is recognized as one node and two EtherNet/IP ports as two nodes on an EtherNet/IP network.| |tag|A tag is a unit that is used to exchange data with tag data links. Data is exchanged between the local network variables and remote network variables specified in the tags or between specified I/O memory areas.| |tag set|When a connection is established, from 1 to 8 tags (including Controller status) is configured as a tag set. Each tag set represents the data that is linked for a tag data link connection. Tag data links are therefore created through a connection between one tag set and another tag set. A tag set name must be set for each tag set.| |tag data links|The standard EtherNet/IP implicit communications are called tag data links. Tag data links enable cyclic tag data exchanges on an EtherNet/IP network between Controllers or between Controllers and other devices.| |connection|A connection is used to exchange data as a unit within which data concurrency is maintained.| |connection type|There are two kinds of connection types for tag data links. One is a multi-cast connection, and the other is a unicast (point-to-point) connection. The multi-cast connection sends an output tag set in one packet to more than one node. The unicast connection separately sends one output tag set to each node. Therefore, the multi-cast connection can reduce the communications load if one output tag set is sent to more than one node.| |originator and target|To perform tag data links, it is necessary to open connections between nodes that perform tag data links. The node that requests the connection is called the originator, and the node that receives the request is called the target.| |tag data link parameters|The information that is set to perform tag data links, including tags, tag sets and connections, is called tag data link parameters.| |EDS file|A file that describes information unique to a device such as the number of I/O points for an EtherNet/IP device. The connections that define the tag data links can be set by installing this file in Network Configurator.|

Precautions for Correct Use Update Sysmac Studio and Network Configurator to the versions specified in this Clause 5.2. or to higher versions. If you use a version higher than the one specified, the procedures and related screenshots described in Section 7. and subsequent sections may not be applicable. In that case, use the equivalent procedures described in this guide by referring to the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) and Network Configurator Online Help.

Additional Information For power supply specifications for the switching hub, refer to the Switching Hub W4S1-series Users Manual (Cat. No. 0969584-7).

Additional Information For details on the Melter’s power supply voltages and capacities, refer to the ProBlue® Adhensive Melters Models P4,P7, and P10 Customer Product Manual (1024496).

Additional Information The system configuration in this guide uses USB for the connection between the personal computer and the Controller. For information on how to install the USB driver, refer to A-1 Driver Installation for Direct USB Cable Connection of the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504). For NX1P2 Controllers, there is no need to install the USB driver because they do not have a USB port.

Additional Information The NX1P2 Controller, if used, should be connected to your personal computer with an Ethernet cable. For information on how to connect the cable, refer to 6-2 Going Online with a Controller of the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504).

Additional Information The configuration tool "IPConfig" by HMS Industrial Networks is used to set the Melter IP address. The file to install "IPConfig" is stored in the compressed folder "ethernet_v2.zip".
6. EtherNet/IP Settings
This section describes the parameters, global variables and tag sets that are all defined in this guide. Hereinafter, the Melter is referred to as the "Destination Device" in some descriptions.
