		Maximum number of tags that can be refreshed per CPU Unit cycle *4	Output/Transmission (CPU to EtherNet/IP): 19 Input/Reception (EtherNet/IP to CPU): 20 *5
		Data that can be refreshed per CPU Unit cycle 4 The layout of the allocated CIO Area words is the defauly 6	Output/Transmission (CPU to EtherNet/IP): 7,469 words Input/Reception (EtherNet/IP to CPU): 7,469 words
		Changing tag data link parameters during operation	Supported *7
		Multicast packet filter function *8	Supported
	Explicit messaging	Class 3 (connected)	Number of connections: 128

SNMP		Agent	SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMP trap

*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
Data (words) that can be refleshed per CPU Unit cycle	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
