Hey guys,

I'm very much a noob with networking, it's my achillies heel, and this is my first networking project using Ethernet/IP. Any help offered is GREATLY appreciated.

I'm trying to network a Codesys Project with an Omron NX1P2 PLC. I'm using EIP due to hardware restrains.

I've added the fieldbus, EIP scanner (as the master), and made a Network Variable List. On the Sysmac Studio end, I've made the variables and set them to network inputs/outputs, registered them in EIP settings, but when I try to set the target device (the Codesys project), I suspect I need to import an EDS file for the EIP mapping.

Back in the Codesys project, I'm not sure how to:
- Make an EDS file to share with Sysmac Studio
- How to link the target device (Omron PLC) to the EIP fieldbus
- How to map the inputs from the Omron PLC.

Im sorry for my very open request for help, i'm kind of lost looking through the various forums/video/tutorials as many of them dont match what im trying to do.

Any help, or sample programs would be so so greatly appreciated. If you need any further clarifications, please feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance,

Toby
