*1. In this case, pps means "packets per second" and indicates the number of packets that can be processed in one
       second.
*2. When using CS1W-EIP21S or CS1W-EIP21 with version 3.0 or later. 　　
　　When using CS1W-EIP21 with version 2.1 or earlier, the allowed communications bandwidth per Unit is 6,000 pps.

*3. To use 505 to 1,444 bytes as the data size, the system must support the Large Forward Open standard (an optional CIP specification). The CS/CJ-series Units support this standard, but before connecting to nodes of other companies, confirm that those devices also support it.
*4. If the maximum data size is exceeded, the data refreshing with the CPU Unit will extend over two or more cycles.
*5. If status layout is set to user settings, the maximum number of tags is as follows.

Condition Output/Transmission Input/ Reception
CS1W-EIP21S 18 18
CS1W-EIP21 19 19

*6. The table below shows value when the layout type is User defined.

EIP21 EIP21S
Data (words) that can be refleshed
per CPU Unit cycle		 Output/Transmission 7405 7321
Input/Reception 7405 7385

*7. If parameters are changed in the EtherNet/IP Unit, however, the EtherNet/IP Unit will be restarted. When other nodes are communicating with the affected node, the communications will temporarily time out and automatically recover later.
*8. Because the EtherNet/IP Unit is equipped with an IGMP client, unnecessary multicast packets can be filtered by using a switching hub that supports IGMP snooping.
*9. The EtherNet/IP Unit uses the TCP/UDP port numbers shown in the following table.

Service Protocol Port number Remarks
Tag data links UDP 2222 The port number is fixed.
Class 3, UCMM TCP/UDP 44818
DNS UDP 53
Secure Comm TCP 443 The port number is fixed.
It is supported by the CS1W-EIP21S only.
FINS/UDP service UDP 9600 Port numbers in the Unit Setup can be changed with
the CX-Programmer.
FINS/TCP service TCP 9600
FTP TCP 20, 21
SNTP UDP 123
SNMP UDP 161
SNMP trap UDP 162
