Product Overview

The Omron NJ Ethernet driver works in conjunction with TOP Server to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and Omron NJ and NX Series devices supporting the EtherNet/IP protocol. The driver also supports Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) routing for accessing Omron controllers via EtherNet/IP without requiring Omron CX-Compolet.

TOP Server automatically optimizes data acquisition based on client demand and ensures data integrity through extensive error handling.
